The San Gabriel River is a river that flows through central Texas. The San Gabriel River is formed in Georgetown, Texas (about 30 miles north of Austin, Texas) by the confluence of the North Fork San Gabriel and the South Fork San Gabriel (both originating in Burnet County). There are two major imoundments of the river; Lake Georgetown along the North Fork and Lake Granger about 25 miles below the confluence. Both are U.S. Army Corps of Engineers imoundments. The San Gabriel River eventually drains into the Brazos River northeast of College Station, Texas. There is a city park in Georgetown, Texas at the confluence of the North and South Fork San Gabriel.
