The primary flow contributor is precipitation, with July and August being the wettest months. The Birch River has several small tributaries, including Crooked Fork and Little Birch River, and is impounded by the Cedar Creek Dam. The dam has a significant impact on the river's flow and temperature, particularly during the summer months when water is released to maintain downstream flow. The Birch River is prone to flash flooding, particularly during the spring and summer months. Despite its occasional destructive power, the Birch River is also an important source of recreation, with several public access points for fishing, swimming, and kayaking.
