The river's main flow providers are the springs located along its course, including the Sulphur Springs and Hancock Springs. The stream gauge also records data on nearby tributaries, such as Walnut Creek and Cowhouse Creek. The river's flow is heavily influenced by seasonal rainfall patterns, with peak flows occurring in the spring and fall. There are no major dams on the Lampasas River, but there are several minor ones used for irrigation purposes. Some quirky facts about the river include its unique name, which comes from the Spanish word "lampazo," meaning "mop," and the fact that it is home to several rare and endangered species of fish and mussels.
