The river played a significant role in the region's history as a route for Native American tribes and Spanish explorers. Today, it is used primarily for recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking, while also supporting the agricultural industry. The river is fed by several creeks and springs, and is home to two major reservoirs: Lake Pat Cleburne and Lake Nolan. Both reservoirs provide water for municipalities, agriculture, and industry. Lake Pat Cleburne also serves as a popular recreational spot for fishing and boating. The Nolan River provides a vital source of water for the surrounding community and serves as a significant contributor to the region's economy.
