	Deerfield River Watershed
		The Deerfield River, with its drainage area of approximately 665 square miles, is one of the coldest and cleanest rivers in Massachusetts.
		As a result of the watershed's mountainous topography, the Deerfield River, which drops approximately 2000 feet from its headwaters to its confluence with the Connecticut River, is renowned for its steep profile and high water quality, which have historically attracted numerous sport-fisherman and whitewater enthusiasts.
		The state is actively involved in stocking the river with thousands of trout to augment native populations, along with approximately a half-million juvenile salmon, as part of a larger salmon restoration project in the Connecticut River.

		At this point the volume of water coming from the upper river is considerably augmented by the confluence of the Westfield River flowing from the Berkshires and the Chicopee River from the east.
