    The Charles River, known as Quinobequin by the indigenous Massachusett people, flows 80 miles from Hopkinton to Boston, winding through 23 cities and towns before reaching its final destination: the Atlantic Ocean. Its name means "meandering still water." Before European colonization, native people relied on the river for their daily lives, with settlements at Nonantum (now Newton) and Pigsgusset (now Watertown). Today, the river hosts rowing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, dragon boating, and sailing.
