The river is impounded by the Navajo Dam upstream, which regulates the flow and causes a seasonal trend of higher flows in the spring and lower flows in the winter. The river serves as a vital water source for irrigation and recreation in the area. The area surrounding Shiprock is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation and is a popular destination for photographers and hikers due to its unique geological formations. The hydrology of the San Juan River at Shiprock is affected by the region's arid climate, with occasional flash floods causing sudden increases in flow.
