Up until 1908, the river was use, to transport logs to sawmills in the Belleville area. At one time, there was a small hydroelectric station on the river near Slave Lake which generated power for a nearby gold mine.

Communities on the river include:
*Flinton, Ontario
*Actinolite, Ontario

The river's name is thought to come from Ojibwa words meaning "burnt shoreline".
