The river is fed by several tributaries, including Buck Creek and Trout Lake Creek, and is regulated by Condit Dam. Seasonal trends show that the river experiences its highest flows in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt, with lower flows in the fall and winter. Interestingly, the White Salmon River is home to a unique species of fish called the Pacific lamprey, which is an important food source for indigenous communities. Additionally, the river is a popular destination for kayaking and rafting enthusiasts, with several challenging rapids in its upper reaches.
