	Neponset River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Neponset River is a river in eastern Massachusetts.
		The Neponset flows from Foxborough into Boston Harbor in Massachusetts Bay, forming the boundary between the city of Boston and the cities of Quincy and Milton.
		The upper stretch of the Neponset River, in Foxboro, Walpole and Norwood, is steeply sloped, however, dropping about 228 feet (69 m) over its first 12 miles (19 km) and so the earliest years of the Industrial Revolution truly brought the Neponset to prominence.

	Spring 2003 Conservation Perspectives: Hooked on Rivers: How citizens become engaged in ecosystem restoration - N. ...
		The Neponset tribe of the Massachusett Nation was in residence during the European settlement period when the first known industrialist, Israel Stoughton, built a wooden gristmill in 1634.
		Brad Chase, an expert in smelt biology, studied the egg deposits in the river and found that both the presence of the dam as well as spring “low flows” were the biggest deterrents to a thriving smelt population.
		If these species were to return to the Neponset River, we learned, they would survive only if they could follow the spring flows of fresh water upstream to where a cobbled substrate, covered with bubbling oxygenated water, would afford them a safe haven for laying their eggs.

		The Neponset River was temporarily diverted while bedding material was placed and graded to match pre-existing riverbed elevations at the upstream and downstream ends of the culvert.
		It was reported, however, that before the dam failed at the South Street culvert in 1959, swimming occurred in the pond that was formed by the damming of the Neponset River (MDPH, 1988).

	Neponset River - MA
		While the river was narrow, it was mostly quiet (it does run next to the commuter rail for a good stretch), with very slow moving water that was easy to paddle against.
		Trees line both sides of the river, giving a nice sense of seclusion, and the leaves drifting slowly downstream make me think it'll be even prettier once the foliage turns.
		In several places, trees have fallen into the river, narrowing it so that it was just wide enough for me slip my boat past, but it didn't require much skill to do so.

		The upper stretch of the Neponset River, in Foxboro, Walpole and Norwood, is steeply sloped, dropping about 228 feet over its first twelve miles.
		When the vast majority of people in the Neponset Basin take a shower, do their laundry or flush their toilet, the resulting wastewater flows into the MWRA sewer system which carries it out to Deer Island for treatment and disposes of it in Boston Harbor.
		A lack of adequate water flow in rivers and streams, especially during the late summer, can be just as damaging to the health of the river as poor water quality.

	Neponset River trip
		Tim has a couple of kayaks and we took them out on the upper Neponset River to explore this quiet waterway that forms one of Boston's borders.
		For most of our trip, the Neponset seemed more of a long pond than a river - for long stretches, the surface was perfectly still until we cut through it in our kayaks.
		We saw some wildlife along and in the river - tons of dragonflies, cardinals and bluejays (and the odd seagull), a decent-sized turtle sunning itself on a submerged tree branch at the confluence of the Neponset and the Mother Brook and some unidentified shiny fl fuzzy thing that jumped into the river as we approached.

	SIR 2004-5109, Sediment Quality and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the Lower Neponset River, Massachusetts, and ...
		Sediment samples were collected throughout the Neponset River and tested for elements and organic compounds including polyaromatic hydrocarbons, organochlorine pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls.
		Although enriched compared to background concentrations, sediment quality in the Neponset River was generally better than that of other urban rivers in the United States, except with respect to one constituent, polychlorinated biphenyls.

		I work on the water in the spring and fall and we're in the mouth of the river every other week (when tide allows us to be there).
		Just upriver from the gas tank, there's a marina/yacht club and just past that is an inlet that empties into the river - that spot is fishable from the land and birds are working it often on the outgoing.
		As you probably know, the channel at the mouth of the river (the widest part) is up against the land on the west side (the I-93 side).
