The river is mainly fed by rainfall and snowmelt, and its flow is affected by the release of water from the Deep Creek Dam. The river's tributaries include the Casselman River and the Savage River. The Youghiogheny River experiences seasonal fluctuations in flow, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer and fall. The river is a popular destination for whitewater rafting and fishing. Interesting fact: the Youghiogheny River was once used to transport timber from the surrounding forests to sawmills downstream.
