On Lamprey River

The Lamprey River is a 50.2-mile river in southeastern New Hampshire. It starts at Meadow Lake in Northwood and flows south, then mostly east, through Raymond, Epping, Lee and Durham to Newmarket. There it meets Great Bay, a tidal inlet of the Atlantic Ocean connected to the sea by the Piscataqua River. Three large dams and parts of breached dams remained on the lower river as of 2020. The tallest is the Macallen Dam in downtown Newmarket. The Wiswall Dam in Durham holds back a drinking-water reservoir for Durham and the University of New Hampshire. In 1996, 11.5 miles of the river in Lee, Durham and Newmarket were designated a 'recreational' National Wild and Scenic River, and 12 more miles in Epping were added in 2000. In 2011 the state added the full main stem and five tributaries to the New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program. More about Lamprey River.
