About This Access Site
The Exchange Street Site provides boat ramp access to the Merrimack River in Pembroke, offering a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and other boaters. Located in Merrimack County, this access site serves as a gateway to one of New Hampshire's major river systems. The site appears to be a carry-in or traditional ramp facility, making it suitable for paddlers and smaller recreational craft.

The Merrimack River in this area is a moderately-sized river with manageable flow conditions for paddling, though paddlers should familiarize themselves with current conditions and seasonal water levels before launching. This section of the river offers opportunities for both casual day trips and longer explorations of the Merrimack Valley. For current information about access hours, parking availability, facility conditions, and any seasonal restrictions, contact New Hampshire Fish and Game or visit their public boating access website.
