Burnshirt River

Burnshirt River

The Burnshirt River is a stream (8.6 miles long) in Worcester County, Massachusetts. It is a tributary of the Ware River, and thus drains ultimately into the Connecticut River and thence the Long Island Sound.

The river rises about one mile southwest of Templeton, Massachusetts at an elevation of 653 feet (199 meters) above sea level. From there it flows through forest and marshes south to Williamsville, then southeast to join the Ware River about two miles east of Barre. It is stocked with trout for fishing.
