The river is a part of the French Broad River Basin and is critical for the water supply of the region. The primary flow constituents of this river are rainfall and snowmelt. The river is known for its great fishing opportunities, and several fish species can be found here, including trout and smallmouth bass. The seasonal flow of the river is highly variable, with the highest flows occurring during the spring and summer months. The river has several tributaries, including Shoal Creek, the largest tributary, and is home to several dams. Interestingly, East Fork Pigeon River was once used to transport logs from the mountains to the mills downstream.
