The Taunton River is the longest undammed coastal river in New England, flowing approximately 40 miles from its headwaters at the confluence of the Matfield and Town Rivers in Bridgewater to its mouth at Mount Hope Bay in Fall River, Massachusetts. This diverse and ecologically intact waterway supports approximately 45 fish species and offers excellent fishing opportunities year-round. The river transitions from freshwater in its upper sections to saltwater in its lower 12 miles, creating distinct fishing environments throughout its course. With naturally vegetated banks in many areas and a wide tidal estuary in its lower reaches, the Taunton River provides both scenic beauty and productive fishing grounds for anglers of all skill levels.
