Upper Charles River Reservation, Protected riverside area in Watertown, United States.
The Upper Charles River Reservation covers 20 miles along the Charles River, connecting multiple communities from Watertown Dam to Riverdale Park.
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation established this protected area in the 1890s to maintain natural spaces along the Charles River.
The Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation within the reservation presents exhibits about regional industrial development and technological advancement.
The reservation maintains numerous parking areas, boat launches, playgrounds, and sports fields, remaining accessible from sunrise to sunset.
Native plant restoration projects along the riverbanks have created habitats for black-crowned night herons, muskrats, and snapping turtles.
