An informal Merrimack River swim stretch inside Concord's Sewalls Falls Park.
At a glance
Overview
Sewalls Falls Swim Area is the informal Merrimack River swim stretch inside Concord's Sewalls Falls Park, downstream of the former dam. Local paddlers and walkers use the sandy bank and quieter eddies for warm-weather cool-offs rather than serious swimming. Conditions depend heavily on upstream releases and recent rain; the main channel is big-river, opaque, and not lifeguarded.
