The river is primarily fed by tributaries and groundwater, with major contributors being the Wildcat Creek and Tippecanoe River. There are no major dams along the Eel River, which allows for uninterrupted flow throughout the year. The river experiences seasonal variations, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and spring rains, and lower flows in the summer and fall. Interesting fact: the Eel River is named after the eel-like fish that once thrived in its waters, but have since disappeared due to habitat loss and overfishing.
