River Reconnaissance Survey of the Nashua River - 2013
A reconnaissance survey of the Nashua River was conducted by the Northeast Region of the National Park Service (NPS) at the request of Representative Niki Tsongas (MA-3). Representative Tsongas requested that 14-miles of the Nashua River, 10-miles of the Squannacook River and 3.5-miles of the Nissitissit River be evaluated as a candidate for a potential Wild and Scenic River designation and as a step toward a full Wild and Scenic River Study. These river segments run through the towns of Ayer, Dunstable, Groton, Harvard, Lancaster, Pepperell, Shirley, Bolton and Townsend in Massachusetts.  The river also runs through the Devens Regional Enterprise Zone, site of the former Fort Devens and comprised of portions of the communities of Ayer, Harvard, and Shirley.
