The river is fed by numerous small tributaries and is regulated by the Carters Dam. The flow of the river is highly seasonal, with higher water levels during the winter and spring months due to increased rainfall and snowmelt. The river is home to a variety of aquatic wildlife, including trout and bass, and is a popular spot for fishing and kayaking. Interestingly, in the early 20th century, the Coosawattee River was known as the "River of Death" due to numerous drownings in the treacherous rapids. Today, the river is much safer and remains an important resource for the local community.
