Arcadia-Butternut Valley-Maple Hills is an upcoming provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. It was almost completely created from Gagetown-Petitcodiac, with a few areas lost to Fredericton-Grand Lake and Sussex-Three Rivers, although the riding picked up many rural parts from the Moncton districts, and areas northwest of Sussex.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Petitcodiac River</span> River in south-eastern New Brunswick, Canada

The Petitcodiac River is a river located in south-eastern New Brunswick, Canada. Local tourist businesses often refer to it as the "chocolate river" due to its distinctive brown mud floor and brown waters. Stretching across a meander length of 79 kilometres, the river traverses Westmorland, Albert, and Kings counties, draining a watershed area of about 2,071 square kilometres (800 sq mi). The watershed features valleys, ridges, and rolling hills, and is home to a diverse population of terrestrial and aquatic species. Ten named tributaries join the river in its course toward its mouth in Shepody Bay. Prior to the construction of a causeway in 1968, the Petitcodiac River had one of the world's largest tidal bores, which ranged from 1 to 2 metres (3.3–6.6 ft) in height and moved at speeds of 5 to 13 kilometres per hour (3.1–8.1 mph). With the opening of the causeway gates in April 2010, the river is flushing itself of ocean silts, and the bore is returning to its former size.
