Important to know
Locations near the edge of the Merrimack River are known for flooding. In 1938, the construction of a 30-foot-high concrete floodwall extending along the shore of the Merrimack was completed, and in 2013, several feet were added. In August of 2023, after torrential rain caused flooding, a 20-foot sinkhole opened in Mount Washington, causing evacuations.
