These reservoirs provide water for agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply, and recreational activities such as fishing and boating. The river has a rich history, having been used for transportation, logging, and milling in the past. Today, the Middle River is an important resource for the surrounding communities and serves as a popular destination for outdoor recreation.
