About Squannacook River

A 16-mile cold-water freestone stream in northern Massachusetts that drains a forested, spring-fed watershed through Groton before joining the Nashua River. It offers exceptional diversity — fast freestone runs, deep pools, and spring-fed tributaries filled with native brook trout — and supports naturally reproducing trout populations that survive year-round in its cold water. Often overlooked by out-of-state anglers, it is a reliable four-season fishery with both stocked and wild fish throughout its length.
