The primary flow provider in the area is precipitation, though there are also numerous smaller tributaries that contribute to the stream's flow. There are several dams on the Gunpowder River and its tributaries, but specific information on these structures is not readily available. Seasonally, the stream experiences higher flow during the spring months due to snowmelt and increased precipitation. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the area is that the Gunpowder River was once a major transportation route for goods and supplies in the region.
