The Yahara River is comprised of four main tributaries: Yahara River, Koshkonong Creek, Token Creek, and Starkweather Creek. The river is managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the United States Geological Survey. The river experiences seasonal trends in flow due to precipitation and snowmelt. In addition, there are several dams along the river that can impact flow. Interestingly, the Yahara River has been the subject of poetry and has been featured in the work of Wisconsin poets such as Lorine Niedecker.
