The river is fed by several tributaries including the Great Pee Dee River, the Little Pee Dee River, and the Black River. The flow of the river is affected by seasonal trends, with higher water levels during the wet season and lower levels during the dry season. There are no major dams on the river, but there are several smaller ones that may affect the water flow. Interesting facts about the Waccamaw River include the presence of rare and endangered species such as the American shad and the alligator snapping turtle.
