Winnicut River Dam Removal Project
The Winnicut River dam is a head-of-tide dam owned by NH Fish and Game with an associated Canadian step-weir fish ladder. Due to dam safety inspections and fish passage issues for anadromous fish, a feasibility study was conducted to determine the best course of action to improve fish passage and general ecological functions of a natural flowing river system. As part of the study, an archaeological survey was completed to identify the cultural and historical significance of the dam and surrounding area.
