Canoe River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canoe River is a river in southeastern Massachusetts. It is 16 miles long, and a tributary of the Taunton River.
The Canoe River arises from headwaters near Lake Massapoag in Sharon, and meanders generally southwards through the towns of Sharon, Foxborough, Mansfield, and Easton to empty into Winnecunnet Pond in Norton. The pond is in turn drained by the Mill River which joins the Taunton River and ultimately empties into Narragansett Bay.
The river provides drinking water for about 50,000 people in the region who receive their water from its aquifer. It has been designated a a Sole Source Aquifer and an Area of Critical Environmental Concern.
