SHUBENACADIE RIVER

The 'Shubenacadie River' is the longest river in Nova Scotia, Canada.
It has a meander length of approximately 50 km from its source at Shubenacadie Grand Lake to its mouth at the historic seaport village of Maitland on Cobequid Bay. The lower 30 km of the river is tidal and the river experiences a tidal bore twice daily, with some bores reaching up to 3 m in height at certain points along the river. Local tourism operators offer adventure seekers a chance to ride with the bore on high-horse power Zodiac Hurricanes.
The river flows through part of northern Halifax County, forming the boundary with Hants County before forming the boundary between Hants and Colchester County.
The Shubenacadie Valley hosts a diversified agricultural economy and is also experiencing suburban sprawl, given its location in the Halifax-Truro transportation corridor.
