The river is fed by several small creeks and streams, and its flow is largely impacted by rainfall and snowmelt. There are no major dams on the Pigeon River, but there is a small hydroelectric dam near the town of Clyde. Seasonally, the river tends to have higher flows in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt and spring rains. A quirky fact about the Pigeon River is that it was once polluted by industrial waste, but it has since been cleaned up and now supports a healthy population of fish and other aquatic life.
