TheNorth Branch of the Millers River is ariver in southwesternNew Hampshire and northernMassachusetts in theUnited States. It is a tributary of theMillers River, which flows west to theConnecticut River, which in turn flows south toLong Island Sound, an arm of theAtlantic Ocean.
The North Branch rises inNew Ipswich, New Hampshire, at the outlet of Mountain Pond.[1] It flows west through Island Pond into Rindge, and passes the villages of East Rindge and Converseville toLake Monomonac. From the lake's outlet in Massachusetts, the North Branch flows south parallel toU.S. Route 202, joining the Millers River at Whitney Pond inWinchendon.
The North Branch is 6.0 miles (9.7 km) long, 4.0 miles (6.4 km) of which are in New Hampshire,[2] with 2.0 miles (3.2 km) in Massachusetts. If the channel length of 2.9 miles (4.7 km) through Lake Monomonac were included, the total length would be 8.9 miles (14.3 km).
