It has played an important role in the region's history, serving as a major transportation route for Native Americans and early settlers. The river is fed by several smaller streams and has two major reservoirs, Lake Bowen and Lake Blalock, which were constructed for flood control and to provide drinking water to nearby communities. The river's hydrology is influenced by seasonal rainfall patterns and the topography of the surrounding landscape. The Middle Tyger River is a popular destination for recreational activities like fishing, boating, and swimming, and is also used for agricultural purposes, including irrigation and livestock watering.
