Who We Are

What We Do

Friends of the Mystic River picture a river "clean, beautiful, and free-flowing". Water flowing from 21 surrounding cities makes up the watershed. The river flows from the Aberjona River to the Mystic Lakes through Medford, Arlington, and Somerville to Boston Harbor. The banks are publicly owned. While wildlife and people appreciate the river, development and pollution have threatened its health. A group of concerned citizens in Medford, Massachusetts founded Friends of the Mystic River in 1995.
