Pickpocket Dam Access

Pickpocket Dam Access provides shorebank fishing access to the Exeter River in Brentwood, located off Pickpocket Road.

The site features a Denil fishway constructed around 1970 that allows passage of anadromous fish upstream, making it notable for observing fish migration during spring spawning season (early April to late June).

Note that the dam itself was declared "High Hazard" by NH DES in 2019, and the town is evaluating alternatives for the structure.
