About the spicket river


The Spicket River is a tributary to the Merrimack River that flows through northeastern Massachusetts. The river is approximately 17 miles long, and its source is located near the town of Salem, New Hampshire. The river has a rich history, with evidence of Native American settlements in the area dating back to the 1600s. The river's hydrology has been altered over time due to the construction of several reservoirs and dams along its course, including the Methuen Reservoir and the Rogers Reservoir. These reservoirs provide drinking water for several surrounding communities. The Spicket River also has recreational uses, including fishing and kayaking, and is an important water source for agriculture in the region.
