The main constituents of the river's flow are precipitation, groundwater, and surface runoff. The river is fed by several tributaries, including Dix River, Benson Creek, and Strodes Creek. The Lock and Dam System on the river, including Lock 14, was built in the early 20th century to improve navigation and increase access to the river for transportation. The river's flow shows seasonal trends, with peak flow occurring in the spring due to snowmelt and increased precipitation. Interestingly, the Kentucky River is one of the few rivers in the world to flow northward.
