The river is fed by springs and snow melt from the nearby Cascade Mountains, making it a year-round flowing river. The river is not affected by any dams, but there are potential tributaries that could affect flow in the future. The river is known for its clear and cold water, making it a popular spot for fishing and recreation. Seasonal trends show that the river experiences a high flow in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt, while low flow occurs in the fall and winter. Interesting fact: The headwaters of the Metolius River were discovered by a group of fur trappers in the 1800s.
