The river's watershed covers an area of 279 square miles and is fed by several tributaries, including the Hiwassee River and Tusquittee Creek. The river has a seasonal trend, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall, and lower flows in the summer and fall. The river has a dam at the Hiwassee Reservoir, which can affect the river's flow. Interestingly, the Valley River is home to several endangered species, including the Appalachian elktoe mussel and the spotfin chub. The streamgauge provides important data for understanding the hydrology of the river and managing its resources.
