Seekonk River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Seekonk River is a tidal extension of the Blackstone River in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It flows approximately 8 km (5 mi). Most historical scholars agree that the name is derived from two Native American words, sucki (meaning black) and honc (meaning goose).

The river begins in name at Pawtucket Falls, which serves as the boundary between fresh and salt water. From the falls, the river flows due south between Providence and East Providence, eventually feeding into the Providence River. The Seekonk River is the northernmost point of Narragansett Bay tidewater.
Below is a list of all crossings over the Seekonk River. The list starts at the headwaters and goes downstream.

The Blackstone and Ten Mile rivers are the only named tributaries of the Seekonk River.
