The river is influenced by several tributaries, including the Monocacy Creek and Hokendauqua Creek, as well as several dams along its length. Seasonal trends in flow rate are influenced by precipitation and snowmelt, with peak flows occurring in spring and summer. Interestingly, the Lehigh River at Glendon, PA was once used for transportation of coal and iron along the Lehigh Canal, and remnants of the canal can still be seen along the river's banks.
