It originates in eastern Hill County and flows southeast until it meets the Brazos River. The river is known for its scenic beauty and rich history, dating back to the time of Native American tribes. The river is fed by several creeks and tributaries, with the most significant being the Little River. There are two major reservoirs on the Navasota River: Lake Limestone and Lake Mexia. These reservoirs are used for water storage, flood control, and recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and camping. Agriculture is also a significant use of the Navasota River, with many farms and ranches utilizing the river for irrigation purposes. Despite its importance to the local community, the Navasota River faces several environmental challenges, including pollution and habitat degradation.
