In the past few months, I happened to be in
Franklin, New Hampshire where the
Pemigewasset River meets the
Winnipesaukee River and forms the Merrimack. I also was in
Newburyport, Massachusetts, where the
Merrimack ends at the Atlantic Ocean. Excuse the cameraphone snapshots.

I remember kayaking on the Pemi years ago and seeing a lot of fresh erosion on both banks; is it still like that? No weird plastic disks, though. Those are all well downstream by now...
ReplyDeleteChris, I didn't get far enough upstream to know - we only made it as far as the Franklin Dam. I'd imagine it hasn't improved much...
ReplyDeleteAlways wondered why they called it the "mouth" since water flows out - shouldn't it be the "urethra?" ;^)
