Upstream from where the river begins, the West Springfield Dam stands tall, forming a reservoir just north of Robinson State Park.

Moving on, in the village of Woronoco, nestled in the town of Russell, you'll find the Woronoco hydro station. Positioned at Salmon Falls, also known as Woronoco Falls, this station boasts three Francis turbines generating a total of 2.7 MW. The falls were initially harnessed for power in the 1870s by the Woronoco Paper Company, which later joined forces with the Strathmore Paper Company. The current dams, constructed in 1938 and 1950 by Strathmore, continued to serve until the paper mills ceased operation in 1999.
