Braunig Lake is a CPS Energy cooling reservoir that stays warm year-round, similar to Calaveras Lake. It's less well-known than Calaveras, making it quieter on weekends. The lake is managed by the City of San Antonio for recreation, with a boat ramp, fishing pier, and open water for kayaking. Largemouth bass and catfish are the main draws. No shade on the water — bring sun protection.
