The flow of this river is influenced by precipitation and runoff from upstream tributaries, as well as releases from Lake Murray Dam. The Saluda River is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Seasonal trends show peak flows during the spring and fall, with lower flows during the summer and winter. The river is home to a diverse array of aquatic species, including bass, catfish, and turtles. One interesting fact about the Saluda River is that it was once home to a large population of American eels, which are now threatened due to overfishing and habitat loss.
