About the williams river
The Williams River is a 33-mile-long river located in the eastern part of Vermont. The river flows through the towns of Rockingham, Chester, and Springfield, and eventually empties into the Connecticut River. The Williams River is known for its historic significance, as it played an important role in the development of the region's industry and transportation. The river is dammed at several points, including the Lower Williams Dam, which was built in 1909 to generate hydropower. The Williams River is also home to the Ball Mountain Dam, which creates the Ball Mountain Reservoir - a popular recreational spot for swimming, boating, and fishing. The river is used for agricultural purposes, including irrigation and livestock watering. Overall, the Williams River is an important resource for both the local economy and recreational opportunities.
