The river is now free-flowing thanks to the removal of two dams, allowing salmon to migrate upstream. Tributaries include Indian Creek and Little River. The hydrology of the river is influenced by seasonal trends, with higher flows during the winter and lower flows during the summer. Interesting facts include the Elwha River being home to four species of salmon and steelhead, and the largest dam removal project in history taking place on the river from 2011-2014.
