Rowley River

Rowley River

The Rowley River is a small river between Ipswich and Rowley, Massachusetts.

The river lies within in the estuary of Plum Island Sound, and is formed by the confluence of the Egypt River and the Muddy River in Ipswich, with numerous tributaries in the estuary. The river and a few smaller coastal streams together drain about 15 square miles of watershed.

Rowley River is navigable for small craft, and home to bassbass, shad, alewives. Its banks are lined with tidal salt marshes, and abound in clams. Today the river is popular for kayaking.
