The river is primarily fed by snowmelt and rainfall, with occasional contributions from tributaries such as the Gasconade River. The river is regulated by a number of dams upstream, such as the Fort Peck Dam, which can affect the flow rate. Seasonally, the river experiences higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and increased precipitation, while summer and fall tend to have lower flows. Interestingly, the Missouri River is the longest river in North America, stretching over 2,300 miles from Montana to Missouri.
