The river is fed by several small tributaries, including Hayfield Creek and Turtle Creek, and is also affected by several dams in the area. Seasonal trends can impact the flow of the river, with higher flows typically occurring during the spring snowmelt and after heavy rain events. The Cedar River is a popular spot for fishing and other outdoor activities, and it is known for its diverse aquatic wildlife. One interesting fact about the river is that it was once used as a transportation route for logs during the 19th century.
