WATER AT THE QUABBIN RESERVOIR

Boston's Quabbin Reservoir.. 65 miles to the West has received much rain-water this Fall. When somebody said 'the Quabbin's water is now flowing across the dam I got excited.

In traveling 13 miles to the West today I observed differently! The water is not flowing over the 400 foot spillway!

The Quabbin is 18 miles long and has a capacity of 412 billion gallons. It serves 40 other communities  and has a maximum depth of 150' and an average of 51'. I have always maintained The Quabbin is our national park, close by.

Why not rusticate to the Quabbin? You will find peace and quiet  as I always do!
