    Squamscott Meander

    A view of the Squamscott River in Exeter, New Hampshire as it meanders on its 5-mile journey to Great Bay and on to the Atlantic Ocean. Upstream is the Exeter River which turns into the Squamscott at the head of tide, the farthest point upstream where a river is affected by tidal fluctuations. Sculling boats used by locals as well as teams from Phillips Exeter Academy ply the waters here during high tide. A touch of early fall foliage color and golden marsh grasses reflect in the water as the river curves out of view.

    Autumn paints the maples brilliant red, orange, and yellow in this scene along the Squamscott River in Exeter, New Hampshire. The path and waterfront wall are part of Swasey Parkway, a gift to the town of Exeter in 1929 by Ambrose Swasey. This scenic park replaced wharves and warehouses from the shipping trade that was active in the 1800’s.
