The stream gauge measures the river's flow rate, which is influenced by rainfall and snowmelt. The river's main constituents are water and sediment, with occasional pollutants from agricultural runoff. The river is fed by several smaller tributaries, including the Crystal River and the Little Wolf River. There are several dams along the river, which can impact the flow rate and water temperature. Seasonally, the river experiences high flow rates in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flow rates in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Waupaca River has been designated a Class II trout stream by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, making it a popular destination for anglers.
