The river receives additional water from the Fishtrap Creek and Alder Creek tributaries, which can significantly impact its flow rate. The seasonal flow of the Nisqually River is heavily influenced by the precipitation and snowmelt patterns in the area. The peak flow rate typically occurs in the spring, with reduced flows in the summer months. The river flows through La Grande Dam, which is a hydroelectric power plant that generates electricity from the river's flow. Additionally, the Nisqually River is home to several species of salmon and steelhead, which are important for the local ecosystem and fisheries.
