Shumatuscacant River

The Shumatuscacant River is a small river (8.5 miles) running through Abington and Whitman, Massachusetts. It forms part of the Taunton River Watershed.

The river arises in wetland just west of Vineyard Road, Abington, flows about 4.4 miles to join Poor Meadow Brook in Hanson, which then flows southwest to Robbins Pond. From there, the Satucket River originates in Robbins Pond and meanders west to join the Matfield River in East Bridgewater, thence to the Town River and the Taunton River.
