This reminds me of Tempe Town where they dammed the river so that the town could have a lake in the town.

| C Hanchey Flickr Roy B. Inks Bridge (Llano, Texas) Historic 1936 Roy B. Inks Bridge over the Llano River in Llano, Texas. The four-span Parker through truss bridge was built 1936 by the Austin Bridge Company. It was built to replace an 1892 bridge that was washed away in a 1935 flood. The new bridge was funded by the New Deal Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) program, which later became the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as a contributing resource to the Llano County Courthouse Historic District (NRHP District No. 88002542). The bridge was rehabilitated in 2006. |

"In its 2006 rehabilitation, a new east side walkway was added, which was wider than the original west side walkway, as required for modern pedestrian crossings. The old west walkway was left as is, and the new east side walkway was built to be a replica, including the lattice railing, and use of round-head bolts that look like the rivets of the original."

At least sometimes the downstream part of the river gets wet.

Looking at various dates on Goggle Earth, normally the middle part of the river is rather dry.
