The river is fed by various smaller streams and tributaries and is regulated by the Kincaid Dam upstream. Seasonally, the river sees the highest flows during the spring months due to snowmelt and rainfall, while summer and fall months see lower average flows. Interestingly, the South Fork Licking River is known for its historical importance as a major transportation route for early settlers and later, for carrying logs downstream to sawmills. Today, the river is primarily used for recreational activities such as fishing and paddling.
