The Pontook Dam Trip is a family friendly
whitewater rafting adventure that goes along
an absolutely gorgeous stretch of river and
takes you down Class II & III whitewater that
can get a bit technical depending on water
level. Along this trip we'll play in the pour
overs, try to catch some raft surfs, and nail
a bunch of 2-3 foot breaking waves getting
everyone in the boat soaked and leaving you
exhilarated on a hot day. On the way down the river you'll see an active eagle's nest and
osprey sightings are common. Don't be surprised if you see the occasional bear, moose,
or deer along the riverbank!

Jericho Mountain State Park (also referred to as Jericho Lake State Park) is located in the White Mountains in Berlin, New Hampshire. The park was created in 2005 with the acquisition by the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands of two abutting properties: a 230-acre (0.93 km2) city park centered on Jericho Lake, and a 7,200-acre (29 km2) piece of private property to the south. The city park was established in the 1970s with the construction of Jericho Lake, a flood control reservoir built to regulate the flow of the Dead River through the city center of Berlin, located downstream. The city added a small recreational park adjacent to the lake which included a beach, bath houses, picnic sites with grills, and a shelter that is still used for functions to this day. The large private parcel was acquired by the state park system to provide a location for the first network of all-terrain vehicle trails on state land in New Hampshire. |
