Acushnet River
• | New Bedford, MA
The Acushnet River flows south from Long Pond in Lakeville, Massachsetts into New Bedford Harbor where it joins with Buzzards Bay on the Atlantic Ocean. The river is spanned by six bridges along the way: three short bridges in Acushnet and three in New Bedford, the last two connecting New Bedford and Fairhaven where the river widens to form the New Bedford Harbor, one of America's most significant fishing ports.
