The river is fed by several smaller streams and tributaries, including the Deep River and the Haw River. The flow of the river varies seasonally, with higher flows occurring during the spring and summer months due to increased rainfall. The flow is also influenced by the presence of several dams along the river, including the B. Everett Jordan Dam and the Cape Fear Lock and Dam. Interesting facts about the hydrology of the Cape Fear River include the presence of several endangered species, such as the Atlantic sturgeon, and the river's historical significance in transportation and trade in the region.
