The river is also fed by several tributaries, including the Otter River and Otter Creek. There are several dams along the Sturgeon River, including the Otter River Dam and the Sturgeon Falls Dam, both of which regulate the water flow. The hydrology of this area is interesting because the Sturgeon River is known for its unique blue-green water color, caused by suspended clay particles.
