Aquilla Lake is a reservoir located in Hill County, Texas. The lake was created in 1983 by damming Aquilla Creek, a tributary of the Brazos River. The purpose of the dam was to control flooding, provide irrigation water, and generate hydroelectric power. The lake has a surface area of 3,400 acres and a storage capacity of 82,900 acre-feet. The hydrology of the lake is influenced by several small streams and the Brazos River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The lake provides surface water for agricultural irrigation and municipal water supply. It also supports recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and camping. The snowpack providers for the region are limited, as the area experiences mild winter weather with occasional snow and ice storms.
