Overview
Lake Limestone is a Brazos River Authority water-supply reservoir in East-Central Texas. Built for regional supply storage, the lake covers approximately 13,680 acres. It is managed by the Brazos River Authority primarily for municipal and industrial water supply, with recreation on the pool.
The basin presents open main-lake water, creek arms, points, and shoreline indentations typical of a large Brazos basin supply reservoir. Depth and bottom character vary from shallower cove and flat habitats to deeper water toward the dam, giving boaters and anglers a mix of structure types. Its BRA system role and East-Central Texas setting define the reservoir’s physical and operational character.
Lake Limestone supports recreational boating and sport fishing through public ramps, parks, and shoreline access around the lake. Fishing and boating regulations are guided by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Facilities around the reservoir provide regional access for day-use and overnight visitors.
The Brazos River Authority manages Limestone for water-supply storage and system operations. Published references include a conservation pool near 363 feet and a dead pool near 322 feet. Inflows, regional demand, and drought or wet-period hydrology move elevations through that storage range. Monitoring lake levels matters for boat-ramp usability, fishing access, shoreline conditions, and understanding remaining storage above dead pool.
