About
Spring-fed flows averaging 115 CFS make the Squannacook a reliable paddle through 16 miles of Wild & Scenic corridor managed by the National Park Service. Optimal levels run 60–170 CFS on USGS gauge 01096000. The river earned federal Wild & Scenic designation alongside the nearby Nashua and Nissitissit rivers as part of a tri-river system. Beyond its protected status and consistent flows, the available data on specific sections, rapids, or fisheries remains limited.
