The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Little Sandy River and the Scioto River. Ironton is located near the Ohio River's confluence with the Little Sandy River. The river's flow tends to be highest in the spring due to snowmelt and increased precipitation, while summer months see lower flows. Interestingly, the Ohio River has a history of being a major trade route and was the subject of the famous folk song "Ol' Man River."
