The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Middle Fork and the Right Fork, and flows into the Tygart Valley River. There are no major dams on the Buckhannon River, but some smaller ones exist on tributaries. Seasonally, the river is generally higher in the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall. Interestingly, the Buckhannon River was once a major transportation route for timber and coal. Today, it is a popular destination for fishing and boating.
