The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Natchaug and Willimantic Rivers. There are several dams along its course, including the Scotland Dam and the Eagleville Dam, which can affect flow rates. The river experiences seasonal trends, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer and fall. It is also known for its diverse fish population, including American shad and Atlantic salmon, which migrate upstream to spawn. Interesting facts about the hydrology of the Shetucket River include the formation of potholes and the presence of rare plant species in its watershed.
