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 artifacts 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]

Dry Brook, Cascading Brook, and Muskrat Brook are the only tributaries of the Coles River, though it has several streams that also feed it.
