Pembroke: Suncook and Trails along the Merrimack
Accommodation in Pembroke
Pembroke lies on the Merrimack River. The town’s history leads to the Suncook neighborhood; parks and conservation areas offer other points of interest. Older planning documents do not automatically confirm the current condition of every route.
Suncook and the Town Park
The village of Suncook grew at the confluence of the Suncook River and the Merrimack River, and developed into the industrial center of the town of Pembroke in the 19th and 20th centuries. Gamelin Memorial Park in Pembroke has a boat launch area. Suncook is a named neighborhood with its own subpage; check the exact starting point for the park or river.
Conservation Area and Past Uses
The town-owned Whittemore Conservation Area in Pembroke has several hiking and biking trails. In Pembroke, access to the Merrimack River was available via canoe launch sites on Route 106 and Route 3. White Sands Beach is a town-owned conservation area in Pembroke that residents used for swimming and picnicking. The last two usage details come from an older plan; White Sands was described as being for residents, not as a public beach for visitors.
Compare the address of a vacation rental with your chosen trail, and check current access, rules, and availability with the relevant authorities.
