The main constituents of the river are sediment, nutrients, and dissolved oxygen. The river is fed by several tributaries, including the East Fork and the Middle Fork, and there are several dams along its length. The flow of the river is generally highest in the spring due to snowmelt and runoff from spring rains, and lowest in the late summer and fall. Interesting facts about the river include its role in local history, as it was once used to transport coal and other goods, and its importance as a recreational resource for fishing and boating.
