The Allegheny River is the main flow provider/constituent, though there are several smaller tributaries that contribute, including Oil Creek and French Creek. Kinzua Dam, located upstream, can affect the flow and temperature of the river. Seasonal trends show higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer months. Interestingly, the Allegheny River is home to over 70 species of fish, including the endangered hellbender salamander. The river also played a significant role in the French and Indian War and the development of the petroleum industry in the area.
