The river's flow is primarily sourced from precipitation, snowmelt, and groundwater. There are several major tributaries that contribute to the river's flow, including the Newaukum, Skookumchuck, and Satsop Rivers. There are no major dams on the Chehalis River at Porter, but there are several smaller ones that can impact flow. Seasonal trends show the highest flows typically occur in the winter and spring due to increased precipitation and snowmelt. Interestingly, the Chehalis River is known for its distinctive meandering pattern, which has resulted in flooding and erosion issues in the past.
