The Runnins River is a river in the U.S. states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It flows approximately 14 km (9 mi).
Course[edit]
The river begins in Seekonk, Massachusetts in the swamps east of Prospect Street, near Walker Street. From there, the river flows in a southwesterly direction towards East Providence, Rhode Island, where it then forms the boundary between Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It continues flowing along the state line to its end at Mobil Dam. Below Mobil Dam (the boundary between fresh and salt water), the river broadens out and empties into Hundred Acre Cove and becomes the Barrington River.
