Amoskeag Fishways Learning and Visitors CenterDescriptionThe exhibits concentrate on the Merrimack River watershed, traditional use of the Amoskeag area, and river wildlife. Visitors can observe live turtles, frogs and salmon, play a salmon migration game, generate electricity, and more. In May and June, guests can experience the unique chance to view migrating shad, herring and sea lamprey in the underwater viewing windows. These windows look into a 54-step fish ladder that permits migrating fish to swim around the Amoskeag Dam and continue on their way up the river to beget.
The Amoskeag Fishways offers many different programs for all ages, including family programs, school field trips and teacher workshops. Program topics include: river wildlife, river ecology, electricity, hydro and solar power, fish biology, urban wildlife, survival skills, Native Americans, and more.
