About the souhegan river
The Souhegan River is a 33-mile-long river in southern New Hampshire that flows from its headwaters in the town of New Ipswich to its confluence with the Merrimack River in the town of Merrimack. The river has a rich history, once powering a variety of mills and factories. Today, the river is used primarily for recreation, including fishing, kayaking, and swimming. The river is also an important source of water for agricultural activities, particularly in the communities of Milford and Wilton. The river is dammed in several locations, including the Pennichuck Brook Dam in Nashua, the Wilton Dam in Wilton, and the Merrimack Village Dam in Merrimack, which impound the water to create reservoirs for drinking water and hydroelectric power generation. Despite its industrial past, the Souhegan River remains an important natural resource for the region.
