Its headwaters are located in Greensboro and it flows south through Danville before joining the Passumpsic River. The river was historically used for logging and milling, but today it is mainly used for recreational purposes such as fishing, kayaking, and swimming. The river is also an important source of water for agriculture, with several farms located along its banks. The largest reservoir on the Sleepers River is the Joe's Pond Reservoir, which was created in 1848 to power a sawmill. Other smaller dams and reservoirs are located along the river for hydroelectric power generation. The Sleepers River is a significant tributary of the Passumpsic River, which eventually flows into the Connecticut River.
