 | | In addition, the river connects several outdoor recreational facilities, including Metcalf and Prete Fields, both heavily used athletic fields; Corliss Park, a multi-purpose facility with a softball field, basketball court, tennis court, and playground equipment; and Canada Pond, a city-owned conservation area which could be used for canoeing and kayaking. |
 | | Along the upper section of the river, from Geneva Pond to the Rhode Island School for the Deaf, the land along the southwestern side of the river is predominantly in residential use. |
 | | The lower section of the river, from the Rhode Island School for Deaf to Interstate 95, is mostly bordered by land in commercial, institutional, or light industrial use. |
