Welcome to Bedford Crew!
The Bedford Crew program was founded in 2010 and is based in Bedford, NH. Previously based in the Amoskeag Rowing Club boathouse, we now row out of our new dock site in Hooksett, N.H., just north of Hooksett Self Storage on a beautiful stretch of the Merrimack River. We usually have 80 - 90 rowers each spring and fall season with many of those choosing to participate in our winter training program.
