The Ferry Street Boat Ramp provides access to the Merrimack River in Allenstown, located in Merrimack County. This site offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore this major river system. The ramp is situated near the historic Reeds Ferry site, reflecting the area's Colonial-era boating heritage.
Paddlers should be prepared for the Merrimack River's character as a larger, flowing waterway. This access point is well-positioned for day trips and fishing expeditions on the river. Before launching, check current river conditions and flow levels, as the Merrimack can be affected by upstream dam operations and seasonal water releases. The area's proximity to Hopkinton-Everett Lake and other nearby recreation areas makes it a useful hub for exploring central New Hampshire's waterways.
