Canoeing

The Conservation Commission maintains two access points along the Souhegan River for fishermen and boaters. The first is on land owned by the Amherst Golf Course, along Rt. 122, near the Souhegan River bridge. A narrow dirt driveway runs from the road to a small parking area by the river.

The second ACC canoe port is on Boston Post Road, near the Souhegan River bridge. Stairs that descend to the river there were created as part of an Eagle Scout project.

There is often poison ivy to be found at both canoe port locations. Avoid it!
