The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Mad River and Hop Brook, and is regulated by dams such as the Beacon Falls Dam. Seasonal trends show that the river has its highest flows during the spring months due to snowmelt and precipitation.

Today, it is home to a variety of wildlife, including trout and bald eagles.
