The flow is primarily derived from precipitation, snowmelt, and groundwater, and is supplemented by the inflow from the Machias, Mattawamkeag, and Meduxnekeag rivers. The river is seasonally influenced, with its highest flow during the spring snowmelt period, and its lowest flow during the summer months. The hydrology of the river is also impacted by the presence of several dams, including the Molunkus Dam and the Ashland Dam. The Aroostook River is crucial for the transportation of timber and forest products, and its abundant wildlife provides economic benefits to the region. Interesting facts include that the Aroostook River watershed covers an area of 3,900 square miles, and the river is the longest in Maine, stretching over 170 miles.
