The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Sauk and Cascade Rivers, and is regulated by several dams, including the Ross, Diablo, and Gorge Dams. Flow in the Skagit River is largely dependent on seasonal snowmelt and rainfall, with the highest flows occurring in late spring/early summer. The river provides important habitat for salmon and other wildlife, and is also a source of drinking water for several communities. Interesting facts about the hydrology of the Skagit River include its designation as a Wild and Scenic River and its historic role in supporting the logging and fishing industries in the area.
