The river begins in name at the mouth of Nannaquaket Pond in Tiverton, Rhode Island. From there, it flows north into the Sakonnet River, itself a tidal strait.

[edit] Tributaries

The Quaket River has no direct named tributaries, however Nannaquaket Pond (the river's source) is fed by Quaket Creek and White Wine Brook.
