There's nothing nicer than strolling along a river and watching the water as it flows downstream. Why not pack a picnic hamper and spend a leisurely few hours at Ipswich River?

You'll soon find out why this Massachusetts flowing body of water is popular with travelers. If you're looking for other things to keep you busy, Castle Hill on the Crane Estate, Crane Beach, and Plum Island Beach are in this area too. They won't take you very long to reach from Ipswich River.
