The Bungay River is a short river in southeastern Massachusetts that is a tributary of the Ten Mile River. The Bungay River begins in Witch Pond in Foxborough, Massachusetts at an altitude about 157 feet (48 m) above sea level. It flows south through Greenwood Lake and through North Attleboro and Attleboro. It enters the Ten Mile River in Attleboro and ultimately empties into Narragansett Bay. Its water basin area is 6.5 square miles. The West Branch and Black Brook are the only named tributaries, though there are many unamed streams that also feed it. The Bungay, whose headwaters extend into Foxborough, is flanked by some of the state's best southern red maple swamps and it contains reaches considered by locals to be prime for canoeing. In addition, the North Attleborough National Fish Hatchery is located in its upper reaches. THIS PLACE IS ONLY GOOD IF YOUR FLY FISHING OR TRYING TO CATCH GOLDEN SHINERS. TROUT ARE STOCKED EARLY SPRING BUT FOLLOW THE RIVER DOWN STREAM WHERE THE BUNGAY MEETS THE TEN MILE RIVER COMING OUT OF FARMERS POND.
