There are no major dams on the river, but there are several smaller ones that can affect the flow. The river typically experiences higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and lower flows in the summer and fall. Some interesting facts about the Chariton River include that it is home to a variety of fish species, including smallmouth bass and channel catfish, and it flows through several state parks and recreation areas. The river also played a significant role in the history of the area, serving as a transportation route for early settlers and businesses.
