Stillwater River Description
The Stillwater River is part of the Nashua River watershed. This river is part of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority system that supplies drinking water to the greater Boston area. The Stillwater River heads in Princeton, Massachusetts, the watershed generally known as the Upper Worcester Plateau, or the Monadnock Upland. This watershed tops at Wachusett Mountain, the highest feature in the area. Water flows east of this area feed the Nashua River Watershed and water flows west of this area feed the Ware River Watershed or the Millers River. This river flows through portions of Sterling, Rutland, and Holden before entering the confluence of the Quinapoxet and Nashua Rivers at the Wachusett Reservoir. The Stillwater and Quinapoxet Rivers are the two major tributaries to the Wachusett Reservoir. About 47% of the Stillwater sub-basin is permanently protected open space.
