The river basin includes numerous small tributaries and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Flow contributions to the river are primarily from precipitation, with occasional spring snowmelt. The Altavista Dam, located upstream of the gauge, can impact the flow, particularly during times of low water. The hydrology of the Roanoke River is influenced by seasonal trends such as increased flows during wetter seasons and lower flows during drier seasons. Interesting facts about the river include the presence of rare species such as the Roanoke logperch and the Roanoke bass.
