Sippican River
The Sippican River ("long river") is a short river in Massachusetts, United States. The Sippican River is long, arising from east and west branches in the towns of Mattapoisett, Marion (once known as Sippican), and Rochester, Massachusetts. Each branch flows through a complex system of cranberry bogs and reservoirs, and empties a short distance away through Wareham into Buzzards Bay near the Weweantic River mouth. As of 2006, efforts are underway to restore the native alewife population to the river.
