TheHubbard River, 4.6 miles (7.4 km) long,[1] is part of theFarmington River watershed. It flows throughConnecticut andMassachusetts.[2]
The river is a main feature of Massachusetts'sGranville State Forest where it drops 450 feet (140 m) in 2.5 miles (4.0 km). It is named for Samuel Hubbard, the English colonist who came to the area, operating a saw mill near the river in 1749.[2] The river heads inTolland, Massachusetts, at the junction of Babcock Brook and Hall Pond Brook, then flows southeast acrossGranville, Massachusetts toBarkhamsted Reservoir in the town ofHartland, Connecticut.[3]
