The Millers River is a 52.1-mile-long (83.8 km)[1] river in northern Massachusetts, originating in Ashburnham[2] and joining the Connecticut River just downstream from Millers Falls, Massachusetts. Sections of the river are used for whitewater kayaking, and a section upriver is popular with flatwater racers (canoe racing), and the river is known locally as a good place for pike fishing.
