The Lamprey River flows coast bound
through southeast New Hampshire, bordering six cities before it’s
waters reach the Atlantic Ocean. Industrial mills lining the banks
once exploited its quick flowing falls. Currently, these sites
are merely traces of time gone past, as much of the river has
either been studied in archaeological research or deemed worthy
of intervention by conservationists and scientists.
Thousands of people visit the river and its surrounding recreation
areas every year. These spots have added campsites and boat ramps
to the river’s banks, making them much more accessible.
Despite recent popularity and development, much of the Lamprey
remains protected. There are many rare fish and birds that call
the watershed home, so as time passes, more undeveloped waters
fall under government protection.
Conservation efforts and recent popularity will hopefully keep
the river as serene and stunning a ride for generations to come.
