Description
The Piscataqua River that divides New Hampshire and Maine is the third fastest-flowing navigable river in the world. Okay, readers respond -- but what does "Piscataqua" mean? It is a term much easier to understand if you are a prehistoric Seacoast Indian.
Formed by the confluence of the Salmon Falls and Cocheco rivers, the Piscataqua River originates at the boundary of Dover, New Hampshire, and Eliot, Maine, and flows southeasterly for 13 miles to Portsmouth Harbor, comprising a partial border between the two states. The last 8.8 miles of the Piscataqua River constitute Portsmouth Harbor, which stretches across New Castle, Portsmouth, and Newington, and the Maine communities of Kittery and Eliot.
