More DescriptionThere is no one way to see the North River. Its characteristic meandering cuts a twenty-three-mile path through the South Shore to Massachusetts Bay. Flowing through six towns Pembroke, Hanover, Norwell, Scituate, Marshfield and Hanson the river has played a prominent, if not definitive, role in shaping the identity of the region.
