The river has a rich history, having played a significant role in the development of the region during the 19th century. The river's hydrology has been impacted by various reservoirs and dams, including the 65-acre upper and lower reservoirs in Goshen, which were created in the late 1800s to provide power to local industries. Today, the river is a popular spot for recreational activities, including fishing, kayaking, and canoeing.
