About the westfield river
The Westfield River is a 78-mile long river located in western Massachusetts. It is a tributary of the Connecticut River and has a rich history dating back to pre-colonial times. The river is fed by several small streams and tributaries, and its hydrology is influenced by numerous reservoirs and dams. Some of the most notable dams include Knightville Dam, Littleville Lake, and West Branch Reservoir. These reservoirs provide drinking water to nearby communities and also serve as recreational areas for fishing, boating, and swimming. The Westfield River is also an important resource for agriculture, providing irrigation water for fields and crops. Despite being impacted by pollution and development over the years, the river remains an important natural resource for the region.
