Saint John River Valley Attractions

The Saint John River, 660km (410mi) long with a catchment area of more than 67,000sq.km (25,800sq.mi), rises in the U.S. state of Maine before flowing south-eastwards through the Canadian province of New Brunswick. For some 100km (62mi) of its length it forms the frontier between the two countries. It enters the sea at Saint John on the Bay of Fundy.

After emerging from the northern-most foothills of the Appalachians the river traverses New Brunswick's agriculturally rich "potato belt", reaching the relatively flat coastal region near Fredericton.
