Swift River

Highlight • River

The Swift River flows in its natural riverbed through dense forests in the south of the White Mountain National Forest nature reserve before it flows into the Saco River near Conway. In the lower valley near the city, the riverbed widens; during the dry months, wide gravel banks become visible at the confluence of the Red Eagle Brook.

Native Americans are known to have inhabited the region at the confluence with the Saco River in the 17th century. The Kancamagus Trail ran along the Swift River. The name Kancamagus goes back to the leader of the natives in the region at that time, who fought fearlessly against the English settlers.

Settlement by immigrants probably took place in the early 19th century; a small farm from that time is now used as a museum of early American life and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
