This from an earlier thread regarding the Lake Level provides some interesting info: Quote:

Phantom,
Although I do not have a map, the last of the three web sites in the post highlighted above your post shows some detail. The water goes through the Lakeport Dam into Lake Winnisquam. From Lake Winnisquam it goes into Silver Lake and then into the Winnipesaukee River. You can see the flow on the Winnipesaukee River near Exit 20 of I-93. The Winnipesaukee River dumps into the Merrimac. The problem is if the level of Lake Winnipesaukee was to be lower by increasing the water through the Lakeport Dam while the down stream lakes and rivers are already high and in some cases in flood, There would be a bigger problem. Silver lake is up over 6 feet in the last 10 days as it is. The folks that operate the dam do a great job of keeping the right amount of water in Lake Winnipesaukee while doing their best to moderate down stream problems. I hope this helps. |

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. Last edited by Bizer; 10-17-2005 at 08:14 AM. |
