…The Lamprey River, winding through the center of town, plays a special yet changing role in the town's life. Formerly serving as a major water transportation link connecting the inland regions with Portsmouth harbor and the Atlantic Ocean, the Lamprey is now appreciated as a significant recreational asset to the region with opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking and access to the larger Great Bay tidal basin area.
Water is at the heart and soul of Newmarket, through a tranquil downtown waterfront and past the old, sprawling saltwater farms and modern condominiums that cluster along the shores of Great Bay. Newmarket's many waterways continue to attract those seeking waterfront real estate. The town boasts mile after mile of valuable frontage on the Piscassic and Lamprey rivers, as well as along the sprawling shores of Great Bay.
Homes and apartments tucked into the steep hills behind Newmarket's main street are compact and convenient to downtown, which offers a plethora of campy storefronts. Other neighborhoods on the outskirts of town are wooded, with homes dotted along their winding roads; farms and pastures line the town's country roads.
Newmarket 's concern for its citizens is evident in the presence of several community buildings and special services. The imaginative and enthusiastic energy of its recreation department staff is responsible for the town's innovative activities. The recreation center houses community services ranging from after-school programs to Meals on Wheels, 4-H to scouting, and is conveniently close to the high school gym. Several small parks are scattered throughout town, including a Little League field, softball fields and two municipal boat launch areas.
