NEW HAMPSHIRE FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: February 10, 2026

Streamflow patterns across New Hampshire's rivers reveal an eclectic tapestry of water conditions that are crucial for enthusiasts tracking everything from seasonal canoeing opportunities to potential flood risks. Current observations show an array of flow conditions, with the Bearcamp River at South Tamworth demonstrating a striking surge in streamflow (1630 cfs, a 400.78% increase from normal) and gage height (3.81 feet), indicating possible flooding events that could affect local areas. In contrast, many rivers, including the significant Connecticut River at West Lebanon, are experiencing below-normal flows (1610 cfs, -39.66 percent normal), potentially impacting recreational activities and local ecosystems.

Noteworthy is the Androscoggin River, a critical watershed for both New Hampshire and Maine, showing decreased flow near Gorham (-21.74 change in the last 24 hrs, -31.1 percent normal) and Errol, which could affect conditions downstream. The Pemigewasset River, popular for whitewater enthusiasts, shows varied conditions with an increase at Plymouth (1860 cfs, 17.42 percent above normal) and a decrease at Woodstock (-25.55 percent normal). The Upper Ammonoosuc River near Groveton and the Connecticut River at North Stratford stand out for their higher-than-normal flows, suggesting heightened vigilance for communities nearby. In summary, while some rivers like the Bearcamp signal potential flooding, others like the Connecticut River indicate lower flows, underscoring the need for paddlers and residents to stay informed on current and forecasted water levels.
