The river is primarily fed by groundwater and is known for its excellent trout fishing. The Kinnickinnic River has several tributaries, including Cedar Creek and Trout Brook. Seasonal trends show that the river's flow is highest in the springtime due to snowmelt and precipitation, while flow is lowest in the late summer and fall. The river is also home to several dams, including the Junction Falls Dam and the Kinnickinnic State Park Dam. Interestingly, the Kinnickinnic River is named after the Native American word for "what is mixed," referring to the river's clear water mixing with the sediment from its gravel bottom.
