The Parker River dam on River Street in Newbury MA.


Just south where the Parker River crosses River Street is this locked gate.
The gate is there to keep out motorized vehicles but not people.


A short distance from the gate, less than 100 feet, is the put in to Parker River.





Right next to the put in is a beaver dam.
