The river is fed by several tributaries, including the White River and the Tyler Forks River. The flow of the Bad River is affected by seasonal trends, with high flows occurring in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer and fall. The river also has several dams, including the Ashland-Bad River Dam, which provides hydroelectric power to the area. A unique feature of the Bad River is its importance to the local Ojibwe tribe, who use the river for fishing and cultural activities. Overall, the Bad River provides valuable information for understanding hydrological processes in the region.
