Ecology
North American beaver (Castor canadensis) historically flourished on the river. In an historical account George C. Yount, a fur trapper with the Pattie expedition wrote on February 1, 1863, "...we began to ascend the Black River ...We found it to abound with beavers..We followed up this stream to where it forks in the mountains; that is to say, about 80 miles from its mouth."
