The river is a tributary of the Mississippi River and flows through several counties in northeastern Iowa. The flow of the river is influenced by precipitation and snowmelt, with higher flows typically occurring in the spring and early summer. The river is home to a variety of aquatic species, including fish and mussels, and is used for recreation such as fishing and boating. One interesting fact about the Wapsipinicon River is that it was the subject of a poem by Iowa poet James Hearst, who called it the "Wapsi." There are no major dams on this section of the river.
