About this river

Sevenmile River

The Sevenmile River is a waterway that stretches for approximately 13 miles through eastern Massachusetts, originating in North Attleborough and flowing through Plainville, Wrentham, and Norfolk before eventually emptying into the Charles River. The river has a long history of industrial use, with factories and mills once lining its banks. Today, the river is mostly used for recreation, including hiking, fishing, and kayaking. The river is also important for agriculture, as it provides irrigation for nearby farms. The river is not dammed, but several reservoirs along its length help to manage its flow and provide drinking water for nearby communities. The largest of these reservoirs is the Lake Pearl reservoir, which is managed by the town of Wrentham.
