At a glance
Overview
Wiswall Bridge at John Hatch Park is the Lamprey River bridge and riverside park access point in Durham, near the historic Wiswall Dam. A short walk from the park lot leads to informal river wade-and-swim spots along the Lamprey below the dam. The Lamprey here is a freshwater river above the tidal head — not saltwater. Current runs harder after rain; rocky entry.
