Best Water Attractions in Manchester

, 2 Options Found

Spanning across more than 2500 acres (1011 hectares), Lake Massabesic is nature's gift to the cities of Auburn and Manchester. Surrounded by pristine, green landscapes, this lake is at its picturesque best during the on-set of Autumn. A number of leisure activities like boating, kayaking and sailing are allowed at the lake. Swimming and fishing can also be carried out. For outdoor enthusiasts, Lake Massabesic and its environs are perfect for a hike as there are numerous trails running across the region. Lake Massabesic is also the major source of water supply for both the cities it calls home.

Ensconced in lush greenery on all four sides, the Amoskeag Falls gracefully cascade over the Merrimack River's western banks. Its jewel-blue waters dropping from a height of 50 feet (15 meters) and shimmering in the sunlight make for a captivating sight. Teeming with diverse marine life such as migratory sturgeon, salmon, and alewife, Amoskeag Falls is an angler's paradise. The surging waters of the falls enticed the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company to start their hydropower plant near the falls in 1807, attracting settlers from all over the United Kingdom to its lands—thus making Manchester the megalopolis we know of today.
