The river is primarily fed by snowmelt and rainfall, and its main constituents are sediment, dissolved solids, and nutrients. The river has several tributaries, including the Oak Grove Fork and the Collawash River. The river is regulated by several dams, including the River Mill Dam and the North Fork Dam. The flow of the river is highly seasonal, with low flow in the summer months and high flow in the winter and spring due to snowmelt. The hydrology of the river is impacted by the changing climate, including changes in precipitation patterns and temperature. Interesting facts about the river include its popularity for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and swimming, as well as its historical significance as a source of power for the logging industry.
