About the parker river


The Parker River is a 23-mile long river located in northeastern Massachusetts, flowing through the towns of Newbury, West Newbury, Groveland, and Georgetown, and eventually emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. The river has a rich history, dating back to the Native American tribes who used it for fishing and hunting. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the river was used to power grist and sawmills. Today, the river is used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and birdwatching. There are also several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Crane Pond Reservoir and the Lower and Upper Artichoke Reservoirs. The river is an important source of drinking water for the surrounding communities and also supports agricultural uses such as cranberry farming. The Parker River is a beautiful and important natural resource for the area.
