Today, the river is a popular destination for recreational activities such as swimming, kayaking, and fishing. The river is fed by numerous tributaries and is known for its rich aquatic biodiversity. Several dams and reservoirs have been constructed along the river, including the Cacapon Dam, which was built in 1930 and is used for flood control and water supply.
