The river flows into the Illinois River and feeds into the Mississippi River. It is subject to seasonal trends, with the highest flows occurring in the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall. There are several tributaries that feed into the Kankakee River, including the Iroquois River and the Yellow River. Additionally, the Momence Dam is located upstream from the streamgage and can impact the water flow. One interesting fact about the Kankakee River is that it was once known as the "crookedest river in the world" due to its winding path through the landscape.
