Wachusett Reservoir, Water reservoir in central Massachusetts, United States.
The Wachusett Reservoir spans across 7 square miles, maintaining 37 miles of shoreline and reaching depths of up to 120 feet.
Construction of the Wachusett Dam began in 1897, leading to the flooding of 4,380 acres across Boylston, West Boylston, Clinton, and Sterling by 1905.
The Old Stone Church stands as a remaining structure from the pre-reservoir era, marking the location of former communities displaced by the water system.
The reservoir supplies drinking water to 3 million people through the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority system, storing 65 billion gallons of water.
The limited public access and high-quality habitat of Wachusett Reservoir have contributed to multiple state fishing records for different species.
