The river is fed by several tributaries, including Fishing Creek and Double Pipe Creek. There are no major dams on the main stem of the river, but there are several small dams on tributaries. The flow of the river varies seasonally, with higher flows typically occurring in the spring and after heavy rain events. Interestingly, the Monocacy River played a significant role in the Civil War, as it was the site of a battle in 1864. Today, the river provides important habitat for fish and wildlife in the region.
