The river forms the natural boundary between the municipalities of Humacao and Naguabo throughout its Pterocarpus-forested delta, which is protected by the Humacao Nature Reserve. A bridge carrying Puerto Rico Highway 3 and another bridge carrying Puerto Rico Highway 53 cross over the Antón Ruiz River in Humacao.
