The river is known for its scenic beauty, with cascades and waterfalls along its course, particularly in its upper reaches.

The Eidalen valley itself is a glacial valley characterized by steep, verdant slopes and a relatively flat valley floor. Eidalselva is a significant watercourse in this region, contributing to the landscape and local ecosystem. The river's flow can vary depending on the season, with higher volumes typically occurring during the spring melt and after periods of heavy rainfall.

Historically, rivers like Eidalselva played a role in local communities, sometimes used for transportation or to power small mills. Today, its primary significance is ecological and aesthetic. The surrounding natural environment is popular for hiking and outdoor activities, with the river being a central feature of the landscape. The water quality of Eidalselva is generally considered good, reflecting the relatively pristine nature of its mountain catchment area.
