Whether you're a fly fisherman, a canoeist, a water skier, or just looking for a place
to cool off, these pristine rivers offer the best of each.
The Merrimack divides the City down its center through the very heart of
Downtown while the Contoocook flows west to east and the Soucook flows southwesterly into
the Merrimack River. All three are navigable, have substantial wildlife habitats, and
offer many access opportunities.
Pristine hiking trails, overlooks, swimming areas, and environmentally sensitive
recreation areas provide numerous opportunities to commune with nature only a few minutes
from the bustling business districts and State Capital.
