The river has several tributaries, such as the West Twin River and the East Twin River, which contribute to its flow. The two dams on the river, the Manitowoc Rapids Dam and the Center Street Dam, also impact the river's hydrology. Seasonally, the river experiences higher flows during the spring snowmelt and after heavy rainfall events. Interestingly, the river is home to several species of fish, including lake sturgeon, which can grow up to six feet in length and live for over 100 years.
