The river is also impacted by the Shelburne Falls Dam, which is used to generate hydroelectric power. Seasonal trends show that flow is highest in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt and precipitation. In the fall and winter, flow is typically lower. The hydrology of the river is interesting because it is home to a variety of fish species, including brook trout and smallmouth bass. Additionally, the river is a popular spot for recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking.
