Browne Lake sits approximately 46 km southeast of Kelowna, British Columbia, at an elevation of roughly 1,311 m (4,300 ft).

Access is via Highway 33 east from Kelowna, turning onto Hydraulic Lake Road and continuing past Hydraulic Lake before heading north on a secondary road to the lake.

The 25-hectare lake is a designated fly-fishing-only water known for quality rainbow trout fishing, with fish commonly reaching 2 lbs or more. A user-maintained boat launch is located on the southeast shore.

The site also falls within the Browne Lake Ecological Reserve, established in 1973 to protect a wet meadow ecosystem and surrounding Interior Cedar Hemlock forest on the Interior Plateau east of Okanagan Lake.
