Slatersville Reservoir is a boat accessible fresh water dive site, located at Victory Hwy., North Smithfield, RI 02876. This dive site has an average rating of 2.00 out of 5 from 1 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 16-20ft/5-6m. The average visibility is under 5ft/2m.

Fresh water reservoir primarily used for fishing. Limited access from shore. Best bet is to launch boat from boat ramp on Victory Hwy. There are two area where swimmers have drowned which we classify as attractive nuisances, the waterfall at the northern end and the trestles which is located near the middle. There are some old pilings to check out at the trestles and some old stone foundations in the Southern part. Other than that, not much to see except weeds, rocks, and muck.
