At a glance
Overview
Packers Falls is a Lamprey River ledge-and-pool swimming area on Packers Falls Road between Durham and Lee, long used by UNH students and locals. The rock is slick, the pool has variable depth, and the site has a documented jumping-injury history, so treat the ledges carefully. No lifeguard, no facilities. The Town of Durham owns the small Packers Falls Park parcel; the adjacent Lamprey River Preserve prohibits dogs.
