The river is primarily fed by snowmelt and precipitation, with tributaries including the Ford River and the Middle Branch of the Escanaba River. The presence of the M-69 dam upstream can affect water levels and flow. Seasonal trends include higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer and fall. The river is known for its excellent trout fishing, and has been the subject of several poems by Michigan poet Robert Traver.
