Birding Hotspots in the United States: Merrymeeting Marsh in New Durham, NH
Merrymeeting Marsh, off Route 11 in New Durham, is one of New Hampshire’s natural treasures. For those who love birdwatching, kayaking, the peace and quiet of getting away from it all, or any combination of the above, Merrymeeting Marsh is a nearly ideal destination. With miles of very calm, sedate paddling that carries you along a winding, but clearly defined, channel (Merrymeeting River) kayakers here have the opportunity to get up close to many wetland birds, flowering water plants, and even active beaver lodges and dams. The channel is easily wide enough for two or even three kayaks to travel side by side without crowding.
n the Autumn, the small trees that encroach upon the edges of Merrymeeting Marsh are among the first in the state to change colors adding a fiery red border that stands out against the taller evergreens behind them. By the second week of September, this early explosion of autumn color should be in high form.
