The Squannacook River is another Massachusetts stream that has something for everyone. From freestone headwater brookies to deep meadow pools holding huge browns, the river boasts a great forage base, easy access and plenty of public land to explore. The section of river from Vose Dam in West Groton up to Harbor Pond in Townsend is a popular stretch because it is easy to get to and both banks are owned by the state. This is part of the Squannacook River Wildlife Management Area. Access is from Townsend Road on the east side in Groton, and from another Townsend Road on the west side in the town of Shirley.
