Lofers Bend Day Use Park is situated on the upstream side of Whitney Dam on Whitney Lake, which attracts over two million visitors annually to the Brazos River in central Texas.

The park features 29 picnic sites, a reservable day use group pavilion, a two-lane boat ramp, playground, two swim beaches, two sand volleyball courts, a 1.5 mile fitness trail, and restrooms. The natural setting includes a variety of oak trees, native grasses, and wildflowers characteristic of the Hill County landscape. Whitetail deer are commonly spotted throughout the park.
