The West River rises in the Green Mountains〔 in the town of Mount Holly in southeastern Rutland County and flows southwardly through southwestern Windsor County into Windham County, where it turns southeastwardly. Along its course it flows through or along the boundaries of the towns of Weston, Londonderry, Jamaica, Townshend, Brookline, Newfane (where it collects the Rock River), and Dummerston to Brattleboro, where it flows into the Connecticut River.〔DeLorme (1996). ''Vermont Atlas & Gazetteer''. Yarmouth, Maine: DeLorme. ISBN 0-89933-016-9〕
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams on the West cause the river to form Ball Mountain Lake and Townshend Lake, both of which were built for the purpose of flood control in 1961.〔(Ball Mountain Lake website )〕〔(Townshend Lake website )〕 The river between Ball Mountain Lake and Townshend Lake is used for white water boating during releases from the Ball Mountain Dam (usually occurring during one weekend in April and one weekend in September).〔(''Zoar Outdoor'' West River info )〕〔(''Rafting America'' West River info )〕
