The river is fed by several tributaries, including the East Branch, West Branch, and North Branch, and flows into Lake Huron. There are no major dams on the South Branch, but several smaller ones exist upstream. The river experiences seasonal trends with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and lower flows in the summer and fall. Interesting facts about the hydrology of the river include its popularity for fly fishing and the presence of endangered species such as the Michigan grayling.
