There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Upper and Lower Beaver Creek dams and the Neshonoc Dam. These dams provide hydroelectric power and recreational opportunities like swimming, boating, and fishing. Agriculture is a major use of the land surrounding the river, with crops like corn and soybeans grown in the fertile soil.
