ABOUT THE CHARLES RIVER:
The Charles River is a centerpiece to the city of Boston. It runs from its headwaters at Echo Lake in the area near Milford and Hopkinton and angles its way through the watershed surrounding metropolitan Boston. The Charles is one of the busiest recreational rivers in the world, and the central location offers a sweeping scenery for runners, scullers and motorists. Rowers launch from docks and boathouses lining its riverbanks, offering a once-in-a-lifetime area for the colleges and universities of the area.
The Charles is emblematic of a homey, intimate Boston, but once per year, it turns into one of the largest sporting arenas in the world for the Head of the Charles Regatta. Held over the penultimate weekend in October, it shepherds hundreds of thousands of people into Massachusetts for an annual competition that unofficially marks the high point of the autumn season for teams like Boston College, all of whom row annually on its waters.
