The Brazos River Authority (BRA) public use areas, located on the east side of the lake, are the closest parks to Dallas/Fort Worth. There are ten public use areas scattered across much of the shoreline of PK Lake. The BRA parks offer varying amenities and uses, including boat ramps, camping sites, swim areas, and play areas for the kids. 

On the west side of the lake lies the largest park in the area – Possum Kingdom State Park.

Boat rentals are available for visitors who want to explore the lake’s coves and bays. Possum Kingdom State Park is a camping and nature lover’s paradise. Created in the 1930s and 40s, Possum Kingdom State Park’s scenic views of the lake make it one of the nicest state parks in Texas.
