The river flow is primarily influenced by rainfall, snowmelt, and seasonal variations. The John W. Flannagan Dam and Reservoir, located upstream, can also impact the flow. The hydrology of the Clinch River is unique due to its high species diversity, including several rare fish species, and its designation as one of the most biodiverse rivers in the United States. In addition, the river is home to the world's largest concentration of freshwater mussels, making it a significant ecological resource.
