The flow is primarily supplied by snowmelt and rainfall, with significant contributions from the Gorge Creek and Ruby Creek tributaries. The Newhalem Dam further downstream controls the river's flow, affecting the gauge's readings. During the summer months, flow rates decrease due to decreased precipitation and snowmelt. In the fall, increased rainfall and the onset of the winter snowpack cause rising flow rates. Interesting facts include the area's status as a major producer of hydroelectric power and the presence of several fish species, including Chinook and Coho salmon, in the river.
