Stillhouse Hollow Lake

The basin combines open main-lake water with creek arms, points, and shoreline indentations characteristic of a mid-sized Central Texas Corps project. Depth and bottom composition vary from shallower flats and cove margins to deeper water near the dam and channel, creating a range of habitats for boaters and anglers. Its Lampasas River setting and proximity to other Brazos basin projects shape local recreation and access patterns.

Stillhouse Hollow Lake supports recreational boating, fishing, camping, and shoreline use through Corps and partner public access sites. Fisheries and boating regulations are guided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Public ramps, parks, and recreation areas provide regional access for Central Texas visitors.

Fort Worth District manages Stillhouse Hollow between a conservation pool near 622 feet, a flood pool near 666 feet, and a dead pool near 515 feet. Rainfall, flood-storage operations, and water-supply needs move the surface through that operating band. Monitoring lake levels is important for ramp usability, fishing patterns, boating safety, and shoreline access as the pool shifts between conservation and flood storage.
