The river is fed by numerous streams and tributaries, including the Pine River and Bear Creek, and is home to several hydroelectric dams. In the summer, the river sees increased recreational use, including fishing and kayaking. The river is also known for its unique hydrology, with several sections featuring deep pools and rapids, as well as a natural phenomenon known as the "boiling" section, where underground springs bubble up to the surface. Despite these quirks, the Manistee River is an important source of water for local industries and communities.
