Great photography.
Great to see people having fun.
Great blog (U-Hub) to share it on.
It's pretty impressive upstream except for a few Newton messes.

Watertown, Waltham and Weston have all done a lot. The water is clear and the elements of the Upper Charles River Reservation make it a great bikeway.
It's probably pretty clean by Weeks bridge cause the Newton swill has time to oxydize as it passes over rapids and Falls.
This spot https://goo.gl/maps/txhra in Auburndale has some kind of pump house blowing what appears to be storm drain water with lots of reddish brown scale in an impressive plume.
This one https://goo.gl/maps/ktQiU is further down stream and involves an old style open storm drain called Cheesecake Brook and it blows lots of winter road salt and gravel such that you have an artificial gravel wash. A bit further downstream the, Nahanton abutters have what looked to be laundry slop and bad turbidity.
