The river was a major traffic artery during the American Revolutionary War, and supplies traveled upriver daily. By the 1800s, oyster beds were a major revenue source, but effluent from the nearby Parker Mills and general sewage pollution killed most of the oysters by 1910. The Kickamuit River oyster industry was ended with the 1938 New England hurricane. The Kickamuit River is classified as a Class A, Type II Waterway and open to both recreational activities and shell-fishing. {{Panorama|image = File:Kickamuit River panorama.jpg |height = 200 |alt = |caption = Kickamuit River panorama taken at Warren Bike Path.

From Warren Reservoir it flows generally southwest, then southeast to Mount Hope Bay, passing to the east of the center of the town of Warren, Rhode Island and ending northeast of Bristol.
