Limestone Creek terminates in the Tennessee River at Arrowhead Landing, which is the southeastern most point of Limestone County's Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. The land within this watershed is predominantly agricultural, but has experienced significant recent residential growth from the city of Huntsville.
