The river is primarily fed by rainfall and snowmelt, and its flow can be affected by tributaries such as Namozine Creek and Swift Creek. There are no significant dams on this stretch of the river. Seasonal trends show that the river typically experiences higher flows in the winter and spring and lower flows in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Appomattox River Basin is home to several endangered species, including the Roanoke logperch and the James spinymussel.
