The Waits River is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed April 1, 2011〕 river in eastern Vermont in the United States.〔(Columbia Gazetteer of North America entry )〕 It is a tributary of the Connecticut River, which flows to Long Island Sound. According to the Geographic Names Information System, it has also been known historically as "Wait's River" and as "Ma-houn-quam-mas-see." The Waits River rises in southwestern Caledonia County in the town of Groton and shortly enters Orange County, where it flows generally southeastwardly through the towns of Orange, Topsham, Corinth and Bradford, to the village of Bradford where it joins the Connecticut River.〔DeLorme (1996). ''Vermont Atlas & Gazetteer''. Yarmouth, Maine: DeLorme. ISBN 0-89933-016-9〕 In the town of Bradford, it collects a short stream known as the South Branch Waits River, which flows eastwardly from Corinth.〔 Further upstream, just south of the village of East Corinth, the Waits collects another tributary known as the Tabor Branch Waits River. The Tabor rises in the northwestern section of the Town of Topsham in an area known as "The Territory" as two smaller branches and flows southeasterly to the village of East Topsham, then southerly toward and through East Corinth. == See also ==
