SALMON FALLS RIVER

The 'Salmon Falls River' is a tributary of the Piscataqua River in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire. It rises at Great East Lake and flows south-southeast for approximately 38 miles (61 kilometers), forming the border between Maine and New Hampshire. The Salmon Falls River joins the Cochecho River near Dover, New Hampshire to form the Piscataqua River. The river provides hydroelectric power at Milton, North Rochester, Somersworth, and Rollinsford, New Hampshire, as well as Berwick and South Berwick, Maine.
Local Abenaki Indians called the river Newichawannock, which means "river with many falls."
