The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Dix River, which flows into the Kentucky River near Lock 7. The Highbridge Dam, located upstream from the streamgauge, also affects the flow of water in the river. Seasonally, the river experiences higher flows during the spring due to snowmelt and increased precipitation. Interestingly, the Kentucky River is known for its diverse aquatic life, including rare species such as the Kentucky arrow darter and the green salamander.
