The river is fed by snow and rain from the surrounding mountains, providing a vital source of water for the region's inhabitants. The river has several tributaries, including Gore Creek and Brush Creek, and is regulated by several dams, including the Eagle Park Reservoir and the Homestake Reservoir. The river's flow varies depending on the season, with peak flows occurring in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt. Interestingly, the river has become a popular destination for whitewater rafting and fishing due to its high flow rates and abundance of fish species like trout and whitefish.
