Course[edit]
The river is formed in East Greenwich by the confluence of Scrabbletown Brook and an unnamed stream. From there, the river flows north along Rhode Island State Route 4, then northeast to Potowomut Pond. Below the pond, the river flows southeast to Potowomut Peninsula where the river widens and becomes known as the Potowomut River.
Most of the Hunt River forms the boundary between Kent and Washington Counties, also separating East Greenwich and Warwick from North Kingstown.
