The river is fed by several smaller tributaries, including the Little Saluda River and the Broad River. The Saluda River is regulated by two dams, the Lake Murray Dam and the Saluda Dam. Seasonally, the river experiences higher flows in the winter and spring due to increased precipitation and snowmelt. Some interesting facts about the Saluda River include that it is known for its excellent trout fishing and kayaking opportunities, and it was once used for transportation of goods during colonial times.
