Does a waterfall have fresh water or salt water?

Typically fresh. Some select bodies of water have salty water (salt lake, dead sea), and likely have waterfalls somewhere on attached rivers. Otherwise you would only find salt waterfalls caused by odd landscapes and high ocean tides. 99% of waterfalls are fresh, as they are fed from rain water, and the riverbeds don't have enough mineral content.

Does the merrimack river have salt water in it ?

All rivers which empty into an ocean, bay, gulf, sea or whatever do, at their estuary have salt water. It's referred to as brackish water. Brackist is water with a low salination factor. Depending on the tides, and the flow of the river will allow sea water to move UP the river.E.g. in Nova Scotia, on the Bay of Fundy at the changing of the tide so much water is forced back up to river a wall of water as much as two feet high moves up and down the river. It's called a tidal bore. To a lesser extent the same thing happens in St. John, New Brunswick. There it's called "Reversing Falls". The Saint John river in Central and North Florida drops from 15' at Lake Okeechobee to sea level at Jacksonville. That's around 200 miles, or only inches per mile. Therefore, when the tide comes in the salt water travels WAY up river, and in truth the last 20-25 miles is mostly sea water.

So to answer you question YES like all rivers that empty into salt water the WILL have some salt.

Would a boat float higher in salt water than it does in fresh water?

things float higher in salt water.

The density of the salt water is greater than the density of an object. Items sink if their own density is greater than the density of whatever they are trying to float in. Items float to the top if their density is less than the density of what they are floating in, and items hang in the middle if the densities are the same. Adding in the salt gives the water a greater density than the water did had before, so the item doesn't float in freshwater.
