The river is also fed by several smaller tributaries, including the Yantic River and the Willimantic River. The flow of the river tends to be highest in the spring due to snowmelt, and lowest in the late summer and fall. There are several dams along the river, including the Ponemah Mills Dam in Taftville. One interesting fact about the Shetucket River is that it is home to several species of fish, including American shad and river herring, which migrate up the river each year to spawn.
