The river's flow is influenced by various factors such as precipitation, snowmelt, and dam releases. The water constituents in the river include sediments, nutrients, and pollutants that can affect water quality. The river has several tributaries, including the Crow Wing River and Prairie River, which can also impact its flow. Dams on the river, such as the Ball Club Dam, can cause fluctuations in the river's flow.
