The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Deerfield River and Chickley River, and passes through several dams, creating hydropower. The river experiences seasonal fluctuations in flow, with peak flow occurring in spring due to snowmelt and lower flow in summer and fall. Interestingly, the Connecticut River is home to the endangered shortnose sturgeon and the largest freshwater fish in North America, the Atlantic sturgeon. Overall, the Connecticut River at Montague City serves as an important source of water and hydropower, while also supporting unique aquatic life.
