Can You Swim at Lake Granbury?




Lake Granbury is more like a wide river than open water located 35 miles southwest of Ft. Worth, Texas on SH 377. Many areas of Lake Granbury on the shoreline are not accessible by land or are private property.

Yes, you can swim at Lake Granbury. Lake Granbury is fairly populated along the shoreline. It lies along the Brazos River, and there are only two public swim beaches on Lake Granbury. You have to boat to find other swimming areas and coves.

DeCordova Bend park on the southeastern bend of Lake Granbury has the largest swim beach on the lake with primitive camping, many picnic tables under trees for shade, and restrooms. It is free, located near the dam, and accessible off of Acton Highway which is also FM 4.

Granbury City Park Beach on the northern of Lake Granbury has a small, but nice beach with a few covered picnic tables, a volleyball court, a splash pad, and restrooms. It is free and located off of East Pearl Street in Granbury, Texas.

Lake Granbury

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 23)

GOOD. Water stained; 70 degrees; 0.18 feet below pool. Granbury water temperatures are in the upper 60s to low 70s. The recent rains have filled up Possum Kingdom and there is a lot of flow through Granbury, so watch out for floating debris. The sand bass action has been excellent on many areas of the lake from Blue Water Shores to Decordova to the Shores in town. Bouncing a slab or spoon will put sandbass in the boat. Crappie continue to be good in the backs of creeks on small minnows and jigs. Largemouth bass are also good on soft plastics, lipless crankbaits and spinnerbaits in the shallows on most every creek and slough. Blue catfish are good on cut shad fished on channel breaks from Decordova subdivision to near Water’s Edge. Striped bass are fair to good on live shad and trolled Alabama rigs from near the dam to near the Decordova subdivision. Striped bass to 10 pounds are possible. Hope to see you on the water. Report by Michael Acosta, Unfair Advantage Charters. Blue and channel catfish are good on cut bait in 40-45 feet of water. Report by Jeffery Sojourner, Sojourner Fishing.
