The river is primarily fed by rainfall and snowmelt, and its flow is affected by both precipitation and human activities such as damming. The river has several tributaries, including the Little River and the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River. In terms of seasonal trends, the river tends to have higher flows in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt, and lower flows in the fall and winter. One interesting fact about the Red River is that it is sometimes referred to as the "Red River of the South" to distinguish it from another Red River that flows through the Midwest.
