Bangar Town is one of the largest human settlements in the district in which the river passes through.[3] Additionally the Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge is not far from the mouth of the river, in Brunei Bay.[4] Going upstream would reach several tourist hotspots such as Belalong Canopy Walkway,[5] Bukit Patoi Recreational Park,[6] Freme Lodge & Adventure Park,[7] and many more.

Some of Brunei's historical sites are located along the river banks, including:

• Ulu Temburong National Park, the first national park of Brunei which was protected in 1991.[8]
• Utama Mohammad Salleh Mosque, a 1968 mosque in Bangar Town.[9]
