The river is fed by several tributaries and dams, including the Prettyboy Reservoir. The flow is affected by seasonal trends, with the highest flows typically occurring in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and the lowest flows in the summer and fall. The hydrology of the Gunpowder River is important for water supply, recreational activities, and wildlife habitat. Interestingly, the river is named after a 17th-century incident where gunpowder was accidentally spilled into the river during transportation.
