About Swift River
Runs along the Kancamagus Highway through Albany — one of the most accessible and popular trout streams in NH. Mix of stocked browns with some holdover fish; rocky pocket water and runs. High during snowmelt; plan for June or early July. Campgrounds along the Kanc make this an easy weekend river.
Regulations
NH fishing license required. Stocked sections under standard NH F&G regulations. No active USGS gauge — check with local outfitters or Waterline app for current conditions.
