The river is fed by several tributaries, including Boulder Creek and Choprock Creek, with a total drainage area of 4,000 square miles. There are no dams on the river. The flow is highly seasonal, with the highest flows occurring in spring due to snowmelt and monsoon rains in summer. During dry periods, the river may run dry. One interesting fact is that the Escalante River is one of the few remaining free-flowing rivers in the western United States.
