The river is also impacted by dams such as the Belleville Dam and Willow Island Lock and Dam. Seasonally, flow rates tend to be highest in the spring due to snowmelt and lower in the late summer and fall. Interestingly, the Ohio River is known for its occasional "barges" made up of floating debris, like trees and pieces of houses, which can pose a navigational hazard. Overall, the Ohio River is an important waterway for transportation, recreation, and water supply.
