The flow of the river is influenced by various factors including precipitation, snowmelt, and upstream flow contributions. The river is fed by several tributaries including the Platte River and the Niobrara River. The Gavins Point Dam located upstream is a significant structure that helps regulate the flow of the river. Seasonally, the river experiences higher flow rates during the spring and lower flow rates during the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Missouri River at Rulo, NE has been known to freeze over during particularly cold winters, creating a unique sight for locals and visitors alike.
