Course and featuresThe headwaters of the river rise in the Haughton Valley of the Leichhardt Range near Mingela and flow in a north easterly direction almost immediately crossing the Flinders Highway. The river then passes between Mount Prince Charles and Mount Norman then past Glendale. Major Creek discharges into the Haughton under Major Creek Mountain and the river continues crossing the Bruce Highway just south of Giru. The Haughton enters Bowling Green Bay National Park and finally discharges into Bowling Green Bay south of Townsville near Cungulla and then into the Coral Sea. The assessed catchment area of the river varies, with one estimate of the area at {{convert|8690|km2}}[3] and another assessed at {{convert|4051|km2|sqmi|0}}. Of this latter area, {{convert|316|km2|sqmi|0}} is composed of estuarine wetlands.[2] The floodplain area of the catchment also holds valuable wetlands, parts of the Bowling Green Bay National Park and Ramsar site (QDEH 1991) are listed in the Directory of Important Wetlands. The upper part of the catchment has few permanent waterholes.[3] An estmaited 77% of the catchment is cleared, cattle grazing is the dominant land use in the area, with production of sugarcane and other forms of horticulture taking up most of the catchment area. An area of {{convert|328|km2|sqmi|0}} is protected.[4] A total of 27 species of fish have been found in the river, including the glassfish, Pacific Short-finned Eel, blue catfish, milkfish, Fly-specked hardyhead, mouth almighty, Empire gudgeon, barred grunter, barramundi, oxeye herring, mangrove jack, eastern rainbowfish, Bony bream, Freshwater Longtom and Seven-spot Archerfish.[5] EtymologyThe river was named in 1861 after Richard Houghton, a stockman, by his friend the pastoralist and explorer James Cassady. Originally named Houghton River it was renamed to the current spelling by the Surveyor General in 1950 at the request of local residents and the electoral office.[6] See also{{stack|{{Portal|Water|Environment|Queensland}}}}
