Tips for Birding

If you carefully keep your bird records by state, be aware of the location of the state line and use the appropriate eBird hotspots when you submit checklists. The Vermont-New Hampshire state line is in the Connecticut River. 

Bedell Bridge State Park in Haverhill has one of the prime floodplain forests in New Hampshire. Take a left just past the village before you get to NH-25 north of the center of Haverhill.  You can spot birds in the wetlands along the road if you enter slowly.

About this Location

Bedell Bridge State Historic Site is a 38-acre park located along the Connecticut River. The park was the site of a historic two-span-covered bridge, the second longest in the country.
