Considered to be one of the best sites for outdoor adventures or fishing throughout the regions of Western Europe and the Americas, Haiti's River Macassia can be found by water enthusiasts at the coordinates of 18.933333 and -71.866667.

The River Capolitte is one on a list of many rivers in the country. Considered a tributary of another on the list, the River Capolitte flows through Haiti's North-East department and also has a path through some of Haiti's neighbor country, the Dominican Republic. At its source it flows out of the principle mountains of the island of Hispaniola, the Central Cordillera, the source of many other rivers that flow through Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The source of the River Capolitte is found on the Haitian side of the mountain.

From there, it flows along the Haitian border with the Dominican Republic before it joins the River Nantes People, also from the same source. They then both flow into the greater River Massacre.
