Location
Among the many rivers, ponds and swamps in southern New Hampshire, the Merrymeeting Marsh in New Durham is a standout for photographers who have discovered the fun of shooting from a kayak. The Merrymeeting River flows out of Merrymeeting Lake and into Lake Winnipesaukee, opening up into a marshy expanse on the west side of Route 11, about 90 miles north of Boston. The parking lot and the easy put-in are just past the junction of Route 11 West and Ridge Road.
Weather
Spring and autumn daytime temperatures can typically range from 50 to 70 degrees F. In summer, temperatures might reach the low 90s. Keep an eye on the sky for fast-moving thunderstorms in hot weather.
