The river is fed by several smaller tributaries, including Floyd's Fork and Harrod's Creek. There are no major dams along the Salt River, but the Taylorsville Lake Dam is located upstream on the Salt River's largest tributary. The river flow is typically highest in the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall, and lowest in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Salt River has been the site of several notable events, including a major Civil War battle and a tragic steamboat explosion in the 19th century.
