The Kouchibouguac River is a river in eastern New Brunswick which empties into the Northumberland Strait north of Richibucto, New Brunswick. It is 72 kilometres long.[1]
This river flows through Kouchibouguac National Park. The river's name means "river of the long tides" in Mi'kmaq.
The Kouchibouguacis is a minor river running parallel to the Kouchibouguac and draining into the same body of water.
During the 19th century, 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.
