Site Description:

The Jones River is the largest river that empties into Cape Cod Bay. It runs from Silver Lake to Kingston Bay. The Jones River is approximately 8 fluid miles; the watershed area covers 30 square miles. This river is one of the most polluted rivers that drains into the Bay due in part to run-off from lawn and agricultural chemicals, restriction of flushing by dams, and reduced flow from the diversion of water for the Brockton water supply and irrigation.
