The river is fed by several small tributaries and flows through several dams, including the Sanford Dam. The flow of the river experiences seasonal trends, with the highest flow typically occurring in the spring due to snowmelt and the lowest flow occurring in late summer and fall. The hydrology of the Tobacco River is interesting due to the presence of several unique wetlands along its course, including the Chippewa Swamp and the Tobico Marsh. These wetlands serve as important habitat for a variety of plant and animal species.
