The Purgatoire River is fed by several tributaries, including the Apishapa River and the Timpas Creek. There are several dams along the river, including the Trinidad Dam and the Purgatoire River Diversion Dam. The flow of the river varies seasonally, with higher flows during the spring and lower flows during the summer and fall. One interesting fact about the Purgatoire River is that it is named after the French word for "purgatory" and was given this name by Spanish explorers who were reportedly forced to make a difficult crossing of the river.
