Amoskeag Fishways interprets the Merrimack River at one of Manchester's defining natural and industrial sites. The centre focuses on fish migration, river ecology, and the engineering that helps species move past the dam at Amoskeag Falls.
For families, it is one of the city's best small educational stops; for adults, it adds ecological context to the mills and riverfront. Seasonal migration periods are the most interesting time to visit, when the river's living systems are easier to see rather than just imagine.
