The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Isinglass River and the Ela River. The flow of the Cocheco River is influenced by seasonal trends, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer and fall. There are several dams along the river, including the Central Dam in downtown Dover, which provides hydroelectric power. One quirky fact about the Cocheco River is that it was once home to a thriving salmon population, but the construction of dams and pollution have led to a decline in their numbers.
