The flow is regulated by several dams along the river, including the Apalachia, Hiwassee, and Chatuge Dams. During the summer months, water levels can fluctuate due to a higher demand for hydroelectric power. Interestingly, the Hiwassee River is known for its large population of freshwater mussels, which can be harmed by changes in water flow and quality. Despite this, the river remains a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and rafting.
