In the early spring, this trip in the headwaters of the Quaboag provides a nice, easy run for 2 to 3 hours. At the beginning many houses are visible from the river, but the father downstream you travel the less you see of any development. As the river passes a shopping center next to the MA 9 bridge the current picks up, and for the next couple miles there is a mixture of quickwater and occasional Class I rapids. The remainder of the trip is on flat water. The Seven Mile River becomes the Brookfield River about three quarters of the way through the route.
