Sevenmile River (Tenmile River tributary)

The Sevenmile River is a small river located in southeastern Massachusetts, United States. It is a tributary of the Tenmile River, which itself eventually flows into Narragansett Bay. The Sevenmile River flows generally eastward through a predominantly rural and suburban landscape.

The river's course passes through several towns, including Plainville and Seekonk. It is characterized by a mix of wooded areas, wetlands, and residential development along its banks. The river's watershed is relatively small, contributing to its classification as a minor tributary.

The Sevenmile River, like many smaller waterways in the region, faces challenges related to water quality, stemming from nonpoint source pollution such as stormwater runoff and agricultural activity. Efforts are often underway by local organizations and government agencies to monitor and improve the river's health and ecological integrity.

The river is used for recreational activities like fishing and canoeing, although accessibility may be limited in certain sections. The Sevenmile River contributes to the overall ecosystem of the Tenmile River watershed, providing habitat for various species of aquatic life and wildlife.
