The Canadian River is primarily fed by snowmelt and rainfall, with some minor contributions from groundwater. It has several tributaries, including the North Canadian River and the Little River. The Norman Dam also controls the river's flow. The river's flow varies seasonally, with the highest flow typically occurring in the spring due to snowmelt, and the lowest flow occurring in the summer due to decreased precipitation. Interesting facts about the Canadian River include that it was once a major trade route for Native Americans and early settlers and that it is home to several endangered species, including the Arkansas River shiner and the Arkansas River spiny softshell turtle.
