There are no major tributaries contributing to the flow at this gauge. The flow is regulated by the Avalon Dam, which was built for irrigation purposes in the early 1900s. The river experiences seasonal fluctuations, with higher flows in the spring and lower flows in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Pecos River was once a major trade route used by the indigenous Pueblo peoples and later by Spanish explorers. Today, the river is popular for recreational activities such as fishing and rafting.
