Lamprey River Bulletin Board
Do you know?
The Lamprey River watershed covers 214 square miles and includes parts of fourteen towns, five main tributaries in addition to the main stem Lamprey River, and a rapidly growing human population. The Lamprey River Advisory Committee is working on updating the 2013 River Management Plan so that the river waters remain clean, habitats remain viable, passive recreational access grows sustainably, historical connections remain strong, and people continue to value and protect the rivers we call home. We need your input and help with this important job. Email us to let us know what you value and what your concerns are! Join the committee! Each town can have up to four representatives. (Barrington, Brentwood, Candia, Deerfield, Durham, Epping, Exeter, Fremont, Lee, Newfields, Newmarket, Northwood, Nottingham, Raymond)

Join us on May 18, 10:00 to noon at the Macallen Dam fish ladder in Newmarket. See river herring, lampreys, and American eels as they migrate between saltwater and freshwater. Park in the public lot behind the Newmarket Library and follow the fish signs. Free!
