The river drains about {{convert|30|sqmi|km2}}, has its source in Silver Lake and drains into Kingston Bay. Land surrounding the river is 52% forested, of which 22% has been developed for residential use. There is a USGS stream gauge along {{convert|16|sqmi|km2}} of the river and it has measured the flow at {{convert|0.7|cuft/s|m3/s}} per square mile of drainage area. The Pilgrims named the river after Christopher Jones, captain of the Mayflower in 1620. On some years the Forge Pond Dam on Lake Street prevents any water from flowing into the river from the lake. Silver Lake is supposed to contribute about twenty percent of the river's flow as its main source. The decreased flow results in slower water, higher water temperature, decreased river mass and less sediment flushing. These unhealthy river characteristics make it harder for diadromous fish and other river animals to survive. The river has been dammed at Elm Street where a new 2 lane bridge and a fish ladder exist. The river is navigable only by small boats below that, and the river below it is effected by the tides. It winds widely through marshes below that before emptying into Kingston Bay. The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife has stocked the Jones River with trout.[2] TributariesJones River Brook, Furnace Brook, Pine Brook, Russell Brook, Smelt Brook, Halls (also referred to as Stony) Brook and Fountainhead Brook are among the tributaries of the Jones River.
