The Black River is fed by several tributaries, including the Current River and the Fourche River. There are several dams along the river, including the Powhatan Dam, which serves to regulate flow and provide hydropower. Seasonally, the Black River tends to have higher flows in the spring and summer due to increased rainfall and snowmelt. Interestingly, the Black River is known for its diverse fish population, including catfish, bass, and crappie, making it a popular destination for anglers.
