The river's hydrology is characterized by cold, clear water and abundant fish populations, including native redband trout. The Upper and Lower Klamath Lake Reservoirs on the river were created by dams for irrigation and flood control purposes. The Upper Klamath Lake Reservoir is also home to the largest freshwater fishery in Oregon. Recreational activities on the Williamson River include fishing, kayaking, and camping. The river also plays a significant role in the agricultural industry, providing water for crops and livestock.
