Dajabón is located on the Massacre River, also known as the Dajabón River. The river is shallow enough to make crossing on foot prevalent. The bridge across the river connects Dajabón to its larger Haitian sister city of Ouanaminthe. Ouanaminthe is a city located in the Nord-Est Department of Haiti.

A twenty square block area of the city becomes an open air market on these days.
