The river has a rich history, having been used for transportation and industry since the 1700s. It is home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Lake Hopatcong and the Merrill Creek Reservoir, which provide drinking water to nearby communities. The river is also a popular recreational spot, with activities such as fishing, kayaking, and hiking. In recent years, efforts have been made to protect the Musconetcong River and its surrounding habitats through conservation and restoration programs.
