Salmon Falls River

The Salmon Falls River is a tributary of the Piscataqua River in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire. It rises at Great East Lake and flows south-southeast for approximately convert|38|mi, forming the border between Maine and New Hampshire [ [http://www.granit.sr.unh.edu New Hampshire GRANIT state geographic information system] ] . The Salmon Falls River joins the Cochecho River near Dover, New Hampshire to form the Piscataqua River. The river provides hydroelectric power at Milton, North Rochester, Somersworth, and Rollinsford, New Hampshire, as well as Berwick and South Berwick, Maine. The final three miles of the river, from South Berwick to the Piscataqua, are tidal.

Local Abenaki Indians called the river Newichawannock, which means "river with many falls".
