The North Quabbin Landscape

No Caption Provided
Carved by glaciers over 10,000 years ago, the North Quabbin region hosts a series of north-south running hills, valleys, and ridges. These topographical features provide numerous eye-catching vistas, changing with every season. The regional elevation ranges from approximately 210 feet above sea level where the Millers River flows from the western portion of the region to 1625 feet above sea level on the top of Mt. Grace in Warwick to the North.

Ponds, lakes, streams and rivers are common features in the North Quabbin. These forested hills help supply clean water to three different major river systems in New England. The majority of the region lies within the Millers River Watershed. The western portion of the North Quabbin drains into the Connecticut River, and an area in the southeast lies in the Chicopee River Watershed.
