The sand on the bottom is so clean it sparkles like stars in the sky. Sometimes you can see fish swimming in the water. Trees and grass line the banks of the North Branch River. The South Branch River is very different. The South Branch River has many towns along its banks. There is a paper mill in one town. Another town has a mine that dumps waste into the river.
