Coles Brook is a small stream that begins east of Pine Street in

Ten Mile River.[1]

The brook is about 4.4 miles (7.1 km) long and has three small dams along its course. It flows through the Caratunk wildlife reservation in Seekonk, which has large portions of open space and wildlife, and is the site of Native American Camps, where artifact have been uncovered.

The Coles Brook is on the EPA list of impaired waterways, due to pathogens, although it has still been rated a Class B waterway, fishable and swimmable.[2]
