About Brandy Branch Reservoir
Brandy Branch Reservoir is a freshwater shore dive in East Texas that starts at the public boat ramp and works north to northwest through shallow, vegetated water. After a longer swim, the bottom clears into stump-and-tree structure and a grass edge that helps with navigation. It is more of a patient lake-structure dive than an open-water scenic run.
