The Charles River winds its 77 miles from Hopkinton to
Boston Harbor through the most populated area of
Massachusetts and yet remains one of the most scenic
and varied rivers in New England. This resource has
not only a huge variety of wildlife and flora but is
a veritable historical textbook on the development of
the Commonwealth. The Charles River offers wonderful
recreational activities: canoeing, fishing, hiking,
bird watching, rowing, jogging, walking, etc.
THE CHARLES RIVER, Exploring Nature and History
on Foot and By Canoe is the most thorough
guidebook published on the Charles River.
If you’re a boater or fisherman there are maps,
distances, access points, portage locations. If
you’re a naturalist there are illustrations
and descriptions of the Charles River’s plants and
wildlife. If you’re a history buff the book
has the river’s development from its
archaeological period to the present.
THE CHARLES RIVER contains:
- Descriptions and illustrations of the
river’s wildlife and flora.
- Histories of the development of each
bordering town and city.

access points, portage locations and distances.
- A full description of the surrounding area of
