The watershed encompasses an area of approximately 4,500 square miles and includes several smaller tributaries, such as the St. Francis River and Castor River. The Black River flows through several dams, including Clearwater Lake and Wappapello Lake, which have a significant impact on its flow. Seasonal trends show that flow is highest in the spring from snowmelt and spring rains, while the lowest flows occur in late summer and fall. Interestingly, the Black River is known for its deeply carved river valley and is a popular destination for canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts.
