The stream gauge provides data about the river's flow rate, which is influenced by precipitation and water withdrawals. The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Little Wapsipinicon River and the Maquoketa River. The river's flow rate is highest during the spring months due to snowmelt and rainfall, while it is lowest during the summer months. The Wapsipinicon River is also home to several species of fish, including walleye and smallmouth bass. One interesting fact about this river is that it was once home to a bustling trade of logs that were transported down the river.
