The Mascoma River is an outstanding community resource for the City of Lebanon and towns of Enfield and Canaan in western New Hampshire. The river connects the hearts of these three communities, flowing through villages and downtown areas before entering the Connecticut River in West Lebanon.
The river acts as an important component of the region’s economy – providing clean, safe drinking water for the City of Lebanon and sufficient water to power hydroelectric stations and support industrial uses. The Mascoma River, Mascoma Lake and the watershed are valued for their scenic beauty and wildlife habitat as well as the year-round recreation they provide.
