The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Sheyenne River and Wild Rice River. There are no dams in the immediate area, but there are several further upstream. Seasonal trends show that the river typically has higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and lower flows in the late summer and fall. Interestingly, the Red River of the North is one of the few rivers in the world that flows northward.
