The river has several tributaries, including the Florida River and the Hermosa Creek, and is regulated by several dams such as the Lemon Reservoir and the Vallecito Reservoir. Seasonal trends show that the river typically experiences peak flow during the spring and early summer months, with lower flows during the fall and winter. Interestingly, the Animas River gained national attention in 2015 when it was accidentally contaminated by a spill of mine waste, causing significant environmental and economic impacts on the region.
