The area contains the Methye Portage, recognized as a National Historic Site in 1933, which served as a vital trade route. This portage was used for centuries as a link between different water systems in the northern wilderness.
The river holds recognition as a Canadian Heritage River for its role in shaping the region's development over centuries. Local canoeists and visitors value it as a waterway that connects them to the land and its past.
The park is accessible via Highway 955 from the town of La Loche, which leads to the Warner Rapids Bridge area. Camping facilities are available on the northeast side, where visitors can set up base for backcountry exploration.
