In theory yes, but the further south you go on the Merrimack the more dams you will encounter.

You would also need to find places to camp for the night.

I don’t really think that the Pemi is passable by boat north of Lincoln at furthest.

You'll probably do more walking than paddling.

> places to camp

Plenty of those through Concord :/

Any good spots in Concord that you know of on or off the Pemi?

Sorry, being facetious... Concord NH has a significant homeless persons problem that's been in the news for the last several years, and there are tentsites up and down the river around Concord center.

Sheeeesh that one went right over my head! My bad hah

No, sir it was mine:/ I've canoed 70 miles on the Connecticut River - it's the same deal: a dam every 10 miles.

Pemi ends in Skanklin bub

You should take a look at a map, bub. I think you'd be surprised to learn that the river continues to flow under a different moniker.

No need for a map chief, im familiar with the pemi....and the Winnipesaukee...and the Merrimack. Here's a link so you can know too. It lists the towns thru which the pemi flows as well as it's mouth (spoiler...it ends in Franklin)

Clearly you're illiterate, because the link that YOU just posted states that it "becomes the Merrimack River".

Yeah bub

"becomes the Merrimack River"....

I rest my case

What do you mean "I rest my case"?

I said that the waterway continues with a different name. If there were no dams/obstacles, one would be able to travel from Lincoln NH to Newburyport MA without changing course/route. Everyone else who's commented is intelligent enough to comprehend that.

Are there decent portage trails alongside the river?

IDK, this was eons ago :)

Yup lots of bottoming out.
