The river is fed by rainfall and snowmelt and is influenced by nearby tributaries, including the Clinch River. There are no major dams along the Powell River, and flow rates vary seasonally, with higher flows occurring in the spring and lower flows in the summer and fall. The hydrology of the area is affected by the geology of the region, which includes karst limestone formations. Interestingly, the Powell River is home to several rare and endangered species of fish, including the Big Sandy crayfish and the blackside dace.
