The river is fed by several major tributaries including the West Branch, the North Branch, and the Juniata River. The Conowingo Dam, located upstream, regulates the flow of the river and generates hydroelectric power. Seasonal trends in flow are influenced by precipitation and snowmelt. During heavy rain events, the Susquehanna River can experience significant flooding. Interestingly, the Conowingo Dam has also become a popular spot for bald eagle sightings as they gather to feed on fish that pass through the dam's turbines.
