The stream does not have any major tributaries, but there are several small creeks that feed into it. The hydrology of the river is influenced by seasonal trends, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the fall and winter. There are no major dams along the river. Interestingly, the Powder River was named by early fur trappers who noted the river's sandy banks and thought it looked like a powder keg had exploded.
