Detailed description is Deerfield River is a river that runs for from southern Vermont through northwestern Massachusetts to the Connecticut River. The Deerfield was historically influential in the settlement of western Franklin County, Massachusetts, and its namesake town. The Deerfield River is the Connecticut River's second longest tributary in Massachusetts, 2.1mi shorter than the Metropolitan Springfield's Westfield River.The river's confluence with the Connecticut is in Greenfield, Massachusetts, downstream of Turners Falls. The Deerfield is one of the most heavily used rivers in the country with, on average, a dam almost every 7mi for its entire length. In Shelburne Falls, the glacial potholes and the Bridge of Flowers are popular tourist attractions around the river.GeographyThe great descent of the river of nearly 1,100 feet over 50 miles furnished water power at many places. Several streams nearly as large as the main river enter it from the north. Among its tributaries is the Green River.DamsThere are 10 dams on the Deerfield, owned by three different electric utilities: TransCanada owns the Somerset, Searsburg, Harriman, Sherman, #2, #3, #4 and #5 dams; Brookfield Power owns the Bear Swamp Pump Storage project and Fife Brook dam; Consolidated Edison owns the relatively small Gardner Falls Dam, which dates from 1904. The various hydroelectric facilities were purchased from National Energy & Gas Transmission, Inc. (NEGT) subsidiary USGen New England, Inc. at the conclusion of NEGT's Chapter 11 bankruptcy and liquidation of the assets of the USGen subsidiary in 2005.
