The North River is a 3.4-mile-long (5.5 km) river in western Massachusetts, the United States.
It is formed by the confluence of the 7.1-mile-long (11.4 km) West Branch and the 17.5-mile-long (28.2 km) East Branch of the North River in the town of Colrain, Massachusetts. The river is a tributary of the Deerfield River, joining it just north of the village of Shelburne Falls.
Famous quotes containing the words north and/or river:
“Come see the north wind’s masonry.
Out of an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with projected roof”

“The river knows the way to the sea;
Without a pilot it runs and falls,
Blessing all lands with its charity.”
