The river is fed by several small tributaries and is free-flowing, without any major dams. Seasonal trends show higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt, while summer and fall tend to have lower flows. The hydrology of the Buffalo River is unique due to its karst topography, which creates numerous springs and sinkholes along the riverbanks. This results in clear, cold water with high levels of dissolved minerals, creating a diverse ecosystem. The river is also known for its recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, and canoeing.
