Slocums River (sometimes seen as Slocum's River or Slocum River) is a 4.3-mile-long (6.9 km)[1] tidal river in southeastern Massachusetts in the United States. The Paskamanset River and Slocums River really form just a single river, but the freshwater portion kept its earlier Indian name, while the salt-water portion is named for the early settlers of the area, the Slocum family.[2]
The Slocums River flows through the town of Dartmouth to Buzzards Bay between Barneys Joy and Mishaum points.
