The principal town in the region, Cahersiveen, is located close to the mouth of the river.

[3][4] There are two crossings at Cahersiveen: an old railway bridge and a single carriageway used by cars.

The town also has an artificial marina built in the early 2000s.

A crossing over a tributary of the Ferta called the Cahran River was opened in 1992 in the same place that a previous crossing stood at Cahran Road.
