The Ten Mile River Watershed covers 54 square miles of Northeastern Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. Its headwaters are in Plainville and Foxboro, MA, with two major tributaries, the Bungay and the Seven Mile rivers. Forty-five lakes and ponds are in the watershed, and many towns once used the river as a source power for mills, and as drinking water.

The river travels through North Attleboro, Attleboro, and Seekonk, MA, and Pawtucket, and East Providence, Rhode Island, before reaching the Seekonk River, at Omega Falls.
