The river provides water for irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and recreational activities. It is fed by several smaller tributaries, including the North Fork Flathead River and the Middle Fork Flathead River. The river flow is heavily influenced by seasonal trends, with peak flows occurring in May and June due to snowmelt. The river is also impacted by several dams, including the Hungry Horse Dam and the Kerr Dam. One interesting fact about the Flathead River is that it is home to several species of fish, including the Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Bull Trout, and Mountain Whitefish.
