About the trinity river
The Trinity River is a major river in Texas that flows 710 miles from its headwaters in the eastern side of the state, through the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and into Trinity Bay on the Gulf of Mexico. The river was first explored by the Spanish in the 16th century and has played a significant role in the state's history, serving as a transportation route for early settlers and a source of water for agriculture and industry. The river supports several reservoirs and dams, including the Trinity River Authority's Lake Livingston Dam and the US Army Corps of Engineers' Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts. These reservoirs provide flood control, water storage, and recreational opportunities such as boating, fishing, and camping. The Trinity River is also used for irrigation and supports agricultural activities in the surrounding areas.
