Kiwanis Riverfront Park offers a community boat ramp providing access to the Merrimack River in Concord, NH. The 14-acre park sits directly on the riverbank with 1,400 feet of waterfront, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and other boaters. The site is home to Concord Crew and features additional amenities including a walking trail, green space, and parking facilities.
Paddlers launching here will find themselves on the Merrimack River in the Concord area, with nearby recreation opportunities including Hopkinton-Everett Lake (New England's largest flood control project) and Blackwater Dam, which offers excellent spring whitewater kayaking during dam releases. The park provides a solid central location for accessing the river, and Concord has nine public access points total, offering flexibility for multi-day trips or shuttle runs.
