Tributaries flowing into the river include the North Fork and South Fork Elkhorn River. The river experiences seasonal changes in flow, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation. The river also has a unique history, as the Elkhorn River was once dammed to create a reservoir for recreation and flood control. However, the dam was removed in 2010 to restore the natural flow of the river and improve the ecosystem. Overall, monitoring the Elkhorn River helps to understand the hydrology of the area and inform management decisions.
