Parkland and long stretches of uninterrupted greenery flow along the river's banks in and around Prescott.

In more recent times, the river has been a vital shipping route between the Atlantic seaboard and the Great Lakes. Centrally located on this major river highway, historic Prescott is fast becoming a popular centre for freshwater divers , not only because of its crystal clear waters , but also for the town's proximity to a number of historic wrecks frequently dived on by both novice and experienced alike.
