The river is known for its whitewater rapids and is popular for kayaking and rafting. The river's flow is primarily dependent on rainfall and snowmelt, and its seasonal trends show higher flows in the spring and lower flows in the summer and fall. The river has several tributaries, including Brushy Creek and Caney Creek. There are no major dams on the Cossatot River. Interestingly, the river's name comes from a Native American word meaning "skull crusher" due to the dangerous rapids it contains.
