The river receives water from several tributaries, including Pipe Creek and Deer Creek. The Mississinewa River runs through several dams, including the Mississinewa Dam, which is used for flood control and recreation. Seasonal trends show increased flow rates during the spring due to snow melt and rainfall, with lower flow rates during the summer and fall months. The hydrology of the Mississinewa River is interesting due to its connection to the Wabash River, which is the largest river in Indiana.
