Still River name?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I’m often asked where the name “Still River Outfitters” comes from.  The name actually comes from a river here in Bolton MA along with a village in our neiboring town of Harvard. The Still River comes out of swamp in Bolton Flatts WMA and flows North for a mile or so to join the Nashua River in the village of Still River in Harvard.

So “Still River” actually refers to a River/Region as opposed to the quality of the water we paddle in. Clearly with all of the white water and ocean kayaking we do there’s nothing “still” about the water we paddle at all…

Here are a few pictures of the river and places near us that bear the “Still River” name.
