The river's flow is primarily fed by snowmelt from the San Juan Mountains and rainwater, with peak flows occurring in late May to early June. The McPhee Dam, located upstream, can affect the river's flow depending on water demands for agricultural and municipal use. The Dolores River is known for its recreational activities, including kayaking and fishing, and has been designated as a Wild and Scenic River. Interesting fact: the Dolores River Canyon is home to one of the longest continuous stretches of Class IV whitewater in the United States.
