The Prophet River Hotsprings Provincial Park is established on the upper course, and the Prophet River Wayside Provincial Park is located along the middle course of the river. It gives the name to the settlement of Prophet River, British Columbia, as well as the Prophet Formation, a stratigraphic unit of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
