About the millers river
The Millers River is a 52-mile-long river located in northern Massachusetts. The river has a rich history of use for agriculture, industry, and recreation. The river begins in Ashburnham and flows through several towns, including Royalston, Athol, Orange, and Erving, before joining the Connecticut River in Montague. The Millers River is part of the Connecticut River watershed and has several reservoirs and dams along its length, including the Birch Hill Dam in Royalston, the Tully Lake Dam in Athol, and the Farley Mill Dam in Orange. These dams provide hydroelectric power and help regulate water flow. The river is also used for recreational activities, such as fishing, boating, and swimming, and supports agriculture in the surrounding areas.
