Renowned for its tranquil beauty, the river is characterized by dense Atlantic white cedar forests that create a mystical atmosphere, often likened to the fictional River Anduin from Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings." While primarily known for its kayaking and canoeing opportunities, the Oswego River also holds historical significance, as evidenced by the remnants of a 1939 WPA construction project near the Harrisville Dam.
