The river is fed by various streams and tributaries, including the Pine River, and is regulated by a number of dams, including the Grandfather Dam. Seasonally, the river tends to have higher flow rates in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flow rates in the summer and fall. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the Wisconsin River is that it was once a major transportation route for fur traders and lumberjacks in the 19th century. Today, it remains an important recreational resource for boating, fishing, and other outdoor activities.
