The river is not dammed, but there are several tributaries that contribute to its flow, including La Cueva Creek and the Pecos River. The Gallinas River experiences seasonal fluctuations, with high flows in the spring due to snowmelt and monsoon rains, and low flows in the summer and fall. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the Gallinas River is that it has been designated as a critical habitat for the Rio Grande cutthroat trout, a threatened species.
