The river is fed by several smaller tributaries and is regulated by the dam at the Blue Ridge Reservoir. During the spring, the river experiences increased flow due to snowmelt, while in the summer months, it is affected by lower precipitation levels. The hydrology of the South Toe River is important to the local community as it provides opportunities for recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking. Interestingly, the river was named after the shape of its bends, which resemble toes.
