There are several small tributaries that flow into the river, including the South Skunk River and the English River. There are no major dams on the North Skunk River, but some small impoundments are used for irrigation and recreation. Seasonal trends show that the river typically experiences higher flows in the spring and summer due to increased precipitation and snowmelt. Interestingly, the North Skunk River is named after the odor emitted by skunks, which was once common in the area due to the large population of the animal.
