Seekonk River 锡康克河
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.
