The course of the river crosses the eastern part of the zec Mars-Moulin.

Some secondary forest roads serve the "Bras des Mouches" valley, especially for forestry and recreational tourism activities.

Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.

The surface of the "Bras des Mouches" is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
