The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Iroquois River, and is affected by the Kankakee River State Park Dam. Seasonally, the flow is highest in the spring and lowest in the late summer and fall. Interesting facts about the hydrology of the Kankakee River include its history of flooding, which has been mitigated through dam construction, and the presence of several fish species, including walleye, smallmouth bass, and northern pike, which attract anglers to the area.
