The river has several tributaries, including the Fourche Maline River, and is not impounded by any major dams in the area. Seasonal trends show higher flow in the spring and early summer due to increased rainfall and snowmelt. Interestingly, the Poteau River is known for its unique hydrology, as it occasionally goes underground and resurfaces downstream, creating a disappearing and reappearing river phenomenon. Overall, the Loving streamgauge provides valuable insight into the Poteau River's flow dynamics and hydrological behavior.
