Below the Eastman Falls Hydroelectric Station, outside of Franklin, New HampshireThe Pemigewasset is 65 miles (105 km) long. It meets the Winnipesaukee River in Franklin and together the two create the Merrimack River that flows down to Boston. The Merrimack River is the river on which Thoreau paddled and about which he wrote in his book A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. The Merrimack is also where John and I took Wingnut kayaking this past summer and where I carelessly fell in with my Canon Rebel XSi around my neck. After I hauled my sorry self out of the river, I saw a flock, yes, a flock of bald eagles. These were the very first bald eagles I had ever seen in my life. And my camera had died because I drowned it. (It cost a fortune, but the camera has been repaired. And I have learned my lesson.)
The section of the Pemigewasset seen here is just below the Eastman Falls Hydroelectric Station. It is a favorite site for anglers of Atlantic salmon. If you can avoid being drowned when the water behind the dam is released, it is good fishing.
