Small riverside promenade along the Contoocook River framed by historic mill buildings, pedestrian bridges and tree-lined banks. Great for reflections, flowing-water long exposures, seasonal color (notably fall) and intimate urban-waterscape scenes. Accessible from Depot St with nearby street and lot parking; no entry fee. Best at golden hour, blue hour for lights on bridges, or weekday mornings to avoid walkers. Weather: calm days yield sharper reflections; autumn and spring offer peak color.
