The river's watershed includes agricultural land and urban areas, with agriculture being the dominant land use. The river is dammed at several points for flood control and to provide drinking water. Seasonally, the river experiences higher flows during the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation. The river is home to several species of fish, including the endangered freshwater mussel. Interesting fact: The Licking River got its name from the salt licks that attracted animals to the area, which in turn attracted Native Americans and European settlers.
