The river has several tributaries, including the West Fork Carson River and the East Fork Carson River, which are both regulated by dams. The flow of the river varies seasonally, with the highest flows typically occurring in the spring due to snowmelt. The hydrology of the Carson River is also influenced by its location in a semi-arid region and the occurrence of flash floods during heavy rainfall events. One quirky fact about the river is that it was once known as the "Divorce River" because couples would come to the river to get away from each other and file for divorce.
