The river is primarily fed by rainfall and snowmelt, and its flow can be affected by upstream dams such as the Shiawassee Dam. The river experiences seasonal trends, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer and fall. The hydrology of the Red Cedar River is important for understanding water availability and flood risk in the area. Interestingly, the Red Cedar River was named after the red cedar tree, which was once abundant along its banks.
