The Elk River is primarily fed by springs and smaller tributaries. There are no major dams on the Elk River, but the Pineville Dam on the Little Sugar Creek, a tributary of the Elk River, can affect its flow. The river's flow varies depending on the season, with the highest flows usually occurring in the spring due to snowmelt and spring rains. Interesting hydrological facts about the Elk River include its designation as a National Wild and Scenic River and its status as one of the best float streams in the state of Missouri.
