The river is primarily fed by precipitation and snowmelt, and its flow is affected by seasonal trends. There are no major tributaries or dams on the river. During the spring, the river experiences high flows due to snowmelt, while during the summer and fall months, the flows tend to decrease. Interestingly, the river is named after the Atlantic salmon that used to swim upstream to spawn, but the last known sighting of this species in the river was in 1806. Today, the river supports a diverse range of fish species, including trout, bass, and perch.
