The river's flow is influenced by several constituents, including precipitation, temperature, and upstream dam releases. The river has a few significant tributaries, including Snake Creek and Hurricane Creek, which can affect the flow rate. The hydrology of the river is characterized by seasonal trends, with higher flow rates in the spring during snowmelt and rainfall and lower flow rates in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Little Tallapoosa River is home to several species of freshwater mussels, indicating a relatively healthy ecosystem.
