Oyster River (New Brunswick)

Last updated

Oyster River is a small tributary of the Miramichi River of New Brunswick, Canada. It flows into the estuary of the Miramichi River, commonly called Miramichi Bay, some five miles downstream of the city of Miramichi. It enters the north bank of the River.

Oyster River flows through a low-lying forested section of Alnwick Parish, New Brunswick. Recently it has not supported an Atlantic Salmon fishery, but is known for Brook Trout. There is little settlement along the river. In former times there were several houses along its mouth with a mixed Scotch and Acadian population.

Geography of New Brunswick

New Brunswick is one of Canada's three Maritime provinces. While New Brunswick is one of Canada's Maritime Provinces, it differs from its neighbours both ethnoculturally and physiographically. Both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are either wholly or nearly surrounded by water and the ocean therefore tends to define their climate, economy and culture. New Brunswick, on the other hand, although having a significant seacoast, is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean proper and has a large interior which is removed from oceanic effects. New Brunswick therefore tends to be defined by its rivers rather than its seacoast.

Sevogle River river in Canada

The Sevogle River is a Canadian river in central New Brunswick. It consists of two branches, the North Sevogle and South Sevogle Rivers. Below the confluence of these rivers at the Square Forks, the river is properly referred to as the "Big Sevogle River". This name serves to distinguish it from the "Little Sevogle River", a much smaller tributary to the Northwest Miramichi River.
