 Projects like Rivers Edge (formerly TeleCom City) hope to promote recreational use of the river's banks.Currently, crew teams, including the Malden High School and the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, practice on the river because it is never crowded like the Charles River.Also, a state-of-the-art boat house is located on the Malden-Everett line on the west bank of the river, used by the Tufts University rowing team.
