The river is fed by several smaller tributaries and is regulated by two dams, Bluestone Dam and Pipestem Dam. The flow of the river varies seasonally, with the highest flows typically occurring during the spring and summer months. The river provides important habitat for a variety of aquatic species, including various types of trout. Interestingly, the Bluestone River was once known for its population of freshwater mussels, but their numbers have declined due to pollution and overharvesting.
