The river is fed by various tributaries, including the French Broad River and the West Prong Little Pigeon River. There are several dams along the river, including the Walters Dam and the Newport Dam. The flow of water in the river varies with the seasons, with higher flows in the spring and lower flows in the summer and fall. Interesting fact: The Pigeon River was once heavily polluted due to industrial activity, but efforts have been made to clean up the river, and it is now home to a variety of fish and other aquatic life.
