The river flows through several towns and cities before reaching this gauge, including Newton, Watertown, and Weston. There are several small tributaries that feed into the river along its path, but no major dams. The river experiences seasonal variations in flow, with higher levels during the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and lower levels during the summer and fall. One interesting fact about the Charles River is that it played a significant role in the American Revolution, serving as a transportation route for British troops and a source of water for colonial forces.
