Water from the Lakeport dam pretty much follows US-3 to Lowell, MA. It rarely is more than a mile from US-3.
The water drops about 12 feet into Opechee Lake thence passes through downtown Laconia into Winnisquam. It flows under route 3 at Mosquito Bridge which is at Winnisquam Marina. The river stays on the south side of Route 3 all the way to Franklin as depicted on the attached map. (about 9 miles from corner to corner).
In Franklin it merges with the Pemigewasset river to form the Merrimac river and turns south to Concord, Hooksett, Manchester, Nashua, and Lowell. It leaves US-3 and turns east to Lawrence, Haverhill and the Atlantic Ocean.
