The river is approximately 9.8 miles long and has a watershed area of 13.6 square miles. It was historically used for mills in the 18th and 19th centuries, and today is home to two reservoirs (Dartmouth and Westport) that provide drinking water to nearby communities. The river is also popular for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and bird watching. The river's hydrology is impacted by the two reservoirs and several small dams along its length. Additionally, the river passes through agricultural land and is used for irrigation purposes. Despite its small size, the Paskamanset River plays an important role in the local ecosystem and history of the region.
