The Moormans River is fed by several smaller streams, including the Sugar Hollow Creek and the South Fork Moormans River. It has three main reservoirs: Sugar Hollow Reservoir, South Fork Reservoir, and Beaver Creek Reservoir. The river is used for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and hiking.
