Memorial Day weekend brings operational changes at Lake Bryan, which is owned by Bryan Texas Utilities (BTU).
That’s the result of decisions made by the BTU board during their May regular meeting.
BTU public information officer Meagan Brown says the entry fee has changed from $5 dollars per vehicle to $5 dollars per person 11 years and older. Brown says that is in line with other parks statewide. And the additional revenue will go towards projects that includes this summer’s repaving of the parking lot that is closest to the beach.
Another change is that the park entry fee will be paid when visitors leave the park instead of when they arrive. Brown says that is to reduce the line of vehicles that backs up onto Sandy Point Road.
All other fees at Lake Bryan remain the same. And there will continue to be no charge for visitors going to the restaurant, as long as they have their restaurant receipt.
