The river is fed by the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers and flows into Canada. The flow is affected by tributaries and dams, including the Orwell Dam and the Wild Rice River. Seasonal trends show peak flows in the spring due to snowmelt and occasional flooding. Quirky facts include the river's unique northward flow and its tendency to freeze over in the winter, causing ice jams and flooding. Understanding the hydrology of the Red River is important for managing water resources and mitigating the impacts of flooding.
