It is said to be one of the rare rivers in the world that retain such a colour throughout their length.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rafting.co.uk/Soca-River-Rafting.htm |title=Soca River Whitewater Rafting |access-date=2009-05-29 |archive-date=2013-09-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130911193402/http://rafting.co.uk/Soca-River-Rafting.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Giuseppe Ungaretti]], one of the greatest Italian poets, describes the Isonzo in the poem "The Rivers".

The river inspired the poet [[Simon Gregorčič]] to write his best-known poem ''Soči'' (''[[To the Soča]]''), one of the masterpieces of Slovene poetry. This region served as a location for the 2008 [[Disney]] film ''[[Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Filming locations for ''The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian'' |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499448/locations |publisher=IMDb.com}}</ref>

The river is also well known for the marble trout (''[[Salmo marmoratus]]''); this species is native to rivers of the northern Adriatic basin, and it lives in the upper course of the river. This species is endangered due to the introduction of other non-indigenous trout species sometime between World War I and World War II.<ref name="Balkan Trout Restoration Group">{{cite web|title=Marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) |url=http://www.balkan-trout.com/studied_taxa_7_marble_trout.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514203938/http://www.balkan-trout.com/studied_taxa_7_marble_trout.htm |url-status=usurped |archive-date=May 14, 2008 |publisher=Balkan Trout Restoration Group |access-date=2009-05-29}}</ref>
