The river's watershed covers over 14,000 square miles and is home to various constituents such as fish, wildlife, and plants. The river is fed by many tributaries, including the Little Wabash River and the South Fork Kaskaskia River. There are also several dams along the river, such as the Carlyle Dam, which helps regulate water levels for navigation and flood control. Seasonally, the river experiences high flows in the spring due to snowmelt and rain, while low flows occur in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Kaskaskia River was once a major trade route in the early 1800s, and now serves as a popular spot for fishing and boating.
