| Hop Brook, a medium-sized Assabet tributary, tumbles out of a culvert that draws from the lake in Shrewsbury's Dean Park. | |
|
|
| It makes its way under School St. and Greenleaf Farms Circle, following behind the curve of Spring St before flowing under Main Street and through the Ski Ward Ski Area. | |
|
|
| The stream continues through a tangle of multiflora roses and some small tree plantations, where it enters Northborough and travels through a large patch of roadless land (hence the lack of pictures!). After passing under Route 20, it enters Smith Pond... | |
|
|
| ...and then flows over the dam by Armeno Coffee Grinders, behind a residential neighborhood, by the Indian Meadows golf course, and into the Assabet River. |
