The western end of the river runs through the centre of Bridgetown in Saint Michael.

The river acts as a channel for heavy rain run-off from the higher interior regions of the island.

Additionally, it is a small sheltered shallow passage or yacht harbour for medium-sized yachts or small craft boats to dock in the city.

It is located roughly 1 km south of the man-made Deep Water Harbour on the Princess Alice Highway.
