Start Date: 9/3/2025 -  
Recreation businesses in New Hampshire report that low river levels have changed their operations. One business owner has switching to tubing and kayaking as opposed to their most popular trip which is whitewater rafting. Another says that paddling trips are taking about 25% longer than usual, and tourists occasionally have to pull their boats, but they still seem satisfied with the trips. Wildfire risks have also increased, with fires in the eastern part of the state. Monadnock Ledger-Transcript (New Hampshire). Sept. 3, 2025.
