Seekonk River : ウィキペディア英語版 | Seekonk River
The Seekonk River is a tidal extension of the Providence 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 is home to the Brown University rowing team, India Point Park, Blackstone Park, Crook Point Bascule Bridge, Narragansett Boat Club (The oldest rowing club in the country) , Swan Point Cemetery, and the Bucklin Point waste-water treatment facility.〔()〕 The River is listed by RIDEM as an impaired waterway.〔()〕 Real time water quality information for the Seekonk River including a blog that is updated weekly is available at http://snapshot.narrabay.com/app. ==Course== The river begins where the Blackstone River reaches sea level below Pawtucket Falls. From there it flows due south between Providence and East Providence, picks up flow from the Ten Mile River, and eventually flows into the Providence River between Bold Point and India Point. The Seekonk River is the northernmost point of Narragansett Bay tidewater.
