The Gale River is a 13.1 mile long (21.1 km) tributary of the Ammonoosuc River in northwestern New Hampshire in the United States. Via the Ammonoosuc, it is part of the watershed of the Connecticut River, which flows to Long Island Sound. The Gale River is one of New Hampshire’s finest. It has everything that counts in a whitewater trip—in abundance. Isolation, natural beauty, distinctive rapids, and even a gorge all combine to make this an unforgettable voyage. The Gale even has a most picturesque spot for eating lunch or watching skinny-dippers. But the most remarkable thing about the Gale is that it is seldom boated. The Gale River flows for its entire length in Grafton County. It rises in the White Mountains in the town of Franconia as two short, northward-flowing streams: its North Branch and its South Branch. The two streams join in Bethlehem, and the Gale River flows thence generally westwardly. Returning to Franconia, the river collects the Ham Branch, its most significant tributary, then passes through Sugar Hill to Lisbon, where it joins the Ammonoosuc River.
