From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
in Kouchibouguac National Park
The Kouchibouguac River is a river in eastern New Brunswick which empties into the Northumberland Strait north of Richibucto, New Brunswick.
This river flows through Kouchibouguac National Park. The river's name means "river of the long tides" in Mi'kmaq.
During the 1800s, the white pine forests of the area were logged to provide masts and booms for the ships of the Royal Navy. Ships were built at the mouth of this river to transport the logs to Britain.
