The incoming Fundy tides are so significant that twice a day they temporarily reverse the flow of several rivers that typically flow into the Bay. When the tide and Salmon River collide, a wave (tidal bore) naturally forms and travels upriver around a predicted time. As the river fills up, the tidal bore eventually dissipates, and the river’s flow returns back towards the bay. This wonder of nature can be seen here! The time of the Tidal Bore can vary several minutes either way, depending on weather and conditions.
