Piscataquog

Add new takeout information to the main page above (Off Mast Road). This was what all the locals used and there is less flatwater and good access...and no drama.

Some history of the river and dam: https://www.wmur.com/article/fritz-wetherbee-gregg-dam-in-goffstown/9564402?fbclid=IwAR35KEXuS-g2oJhN1ATPnRPKQMzzhuqhUBoLK6bQ1ITeJ6Ar3ox-IqfhVcA

Some Highlights:
\\ Leslie Gregg first built a dam as part of a mill in 1802. It was swept away in a flood in 1820.
\\ The current Gregg's Dam was first built in 1918. It was decommissioned in the 1970's, and then recommissioned in 1985.
\\ Dam is 60' High, and 1360' wide.
\\ Piscataquog is Algonquian for Great Deer Place

The takeout location on the map is no longer available to boaters. The new takeout is on the same road but further down past the residential area is a parking area across the road from a little boat launch. It makes for some extra flatwater paddling but worth it to paddle the whole run. There is an alternate takeout halfway through the run where the river goes under a bridge but usually used only when time is a factor.
