The river's flow is influenced by precipitation, runoff, and groundwater discharge. The Fox River is fed by numerous tributaries, including the White River and the Mukwonago River. The river is also regulated by several dams, including the New Munster Dam. Seasonal trends in flow include higher flows during the spring snowmelt and lower flows during the summer. One interesting fact about the Fox River is that it was once heavily polluted with industrial waste, but has since been cleaned up and is now a popular site for recreation and fishing.
