North Branch Pawtuxet River

1

The North Branch Pawtuxet River is a river in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It flows approximately 8.9 mi. There are 9 dams along the river's length.

Course

The river is formed by the confluence of the Ponaganset and Moswansicut rivers in the area that is now flooded by the Scituate Reservoir, the primary drinking water supply for the city of Providence as well as other cities and towns in the metro area. From the reservoir, it flows southeast through the historic textile mill villages of Hope, Arkright, Harris, Phenix, Lippitt and then into River Point, West Warwick where it converges with the South Branch Pawtuxet River to form the main branch of the Pawtuxet River.
