Chepachet River

The Chepachet River is a river in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It flows 5.2 miles (8.4 km).[1] There are eight dams along the river's length.[2]

The river rises from Cherry Valley Pond in Glocester. From there it flows to Keech Pond and Smith & Sayles Reservoir, then north to Burrillville where it converges with the Clear River to form the Branch River.
