You can combine logical tests using &:
d <- subset(x, (River.Mile<=202) & (River.Mile>3) & (Lagrangian=="Yes") & (EventType=="Regular"))
(The parentheses around the tests are not necessary, but they mean you don't need to check the operator precedence table, and your test would work in some other language with different rules.)
