Much of the Sevier River near Panguitch, Utah is diverted and used for irrigation. Diversions pose unique problems for wildlife and land managers - streams spread out, making riparian corridors wider, sustainable fisheries are interrupted, and wildlife that depend on precious water resources must look elsewhere. Continued education and partnerships among different public and private interests are essential for future management of the Upper Sevier River.

Panguitch Utah, just upstream, is the gateway to several national parks, including Bryce Canyon, Kodachrome Basin, Cedar Breaks, Zions, and Capitol Reef. Scenic Highway 12, which runs through Red Canyon enroute to Bryce has been named one of the top 10 most scenic highways, and during September-October, the Dixie National Forest boasts beautiful Fall colors.
