As the name implies, Bolton Flats is primarily a flood plain for the Nashua, Still, and Dead
Rivers. Beaver activity along the Still River has resulted in an extensive wetland complex to the
north of Route 117 and to the west of Route 110. The floodplain forest along the Nashua River
is extensive on the west side. Several hundred acres of Bolton Flats is leased to area farmers
who grow hay, corn, and row crops with the resulting edge cover providing excellent wildlife
habitat
