The river is fed by several smaller tributaries and is supplemented by water from the North Fork Reservoir. The flow of the river is typically highest in the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall, while flow decreases during the summer and fall. There are no major dams on the Mills River, but the North Fork Reservoir can influence flow. Interesting fact: the Mills River was once a popular spot for moonshiners during Prohibition, who used the river to transport their illegal goods.
