Pictoral Tour of Fort Meadow Brook, Marlborough
and Hudson
|
|
|
|
Fort Meadow Brook is a relatively small tributary of
the Assabet River that flows out of the Fort Meadow
Reservoir near Memorial Beach in Marlborough. The Fort
Meadow Reservoir is fed by Flagg Brook and Sheep Fall
Brook. Fort Meadow Brook passes into Hudson soon after
it leaves the reservoir, running through a woodsy residential
neighborhood.

The brook parallels Shay Rd. for about
half a mile before passing underneath it, which is where
the StreamWatch sampling site is located.

|
|
It then flows under Lewis St.
|
and Chestnut St.
|
|
|
|
|
A beaver dam beneath the bridge on
Chestnut St. created this wide swampy area upstream,
but the dam has since been removed.
|
Fort Meadow Brook then flows under
Main St. before turning to the north and running
through a swampy area as it makes its way
to the Assabet River.
