The primary constituents of the river are precipitation and runoff from surrounding agricultural and urban areas. There are several tributaries that feed into the river, including the Little La Crosse River and the Baraboo River. The river is regulated by a dam located upstream in the town of Bangor. The flow in the river typically peaks in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and is lowest in late summer and early fall. Interestingly, the river is a popular spot for trout fishing and other recreational activities.
