Absolutely drive the River rd, plan on spending a full day. You'll see ruins, old mines, you can go by the hot springs and will follow the river for quite a ways.
We drove most of the backroads in the western section of the park, we missed a couple of the eastern roads. Most are mildly interesting at best. With one exception, Black Gap Road is a real and serious 4WD trail so we skipped that one since our 23 ft long 4WD F-350 just isn't suited for that sort of road. If you have a Jeep you may want to consider that but be sure to research it first. There are YouTube videos on that trail and you should talk to the park rangers before trying it.
