The river is a tributary of the Chowan River, which eventually empties into the Albemarle Sound. The flow of the river is affected by rainfall and snowmelt, resulting in seasonal trends in water level. The river is not dammed and does not have any major tributaries that significantly affect its hydrology. However, the Blackwater River is known for its blackwater color due to the tannins and organic matter from surrounding wetlands. The river is home to a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles and otters.
