The Ashaway River is a river in the U.S. states of Rhode Island and Connecticut. It flows approximately 4 km (2 mi). There are three dams along the river's length.[2]
Course[edit]
The river is formed in Hopkinton by the confluence of Parmenter Brook and the Green Fall River, about 500 feet north of Interstate 95, and just a few feet east of the Connecticut state line. From there, it flows south-southwest, briefly entering North Stonington, Connecticut for about 500 feet, before turning southeast and crossing back into Rhode Island and continuing through Hopkinton to its mouth at the Pawcatuck River.
Crossings[edit]
Below is a list of all crossings over the Ashaway River. The list starts at the headwaters and goes downstream.
- Hopkinton
- Interstate 95
- Wellstown Road
- High Street (RI 216)
- Laurel Street
Tributaries[edit]
The Ashaway River has no named tributaries, though it has many unnamed streams that feed it.
