The Shubenacadie River is a river in Nova Scotia, Canada. It has a meander length of approximately 72 km〔(''Columbia Gazeteer'' )〕 from its source at Shubenacadie Grand Lake to its mouth at the historic seaport village of Maitland on Cobequid Bay, site of the building of the ''William D. Lawrence'', the largest wooden ship ever built in Canada. In 2009, the ''I Backpack Canada'' blog named the Shubenacadie one of the top five whitewater rivers in Canada.〔Blog, ("Top 5 Rivers for White Water Rafting in Canada" ), repeated at Lonely Planet, November 8, 2009〕 The lower 30 km of the river (from the point where the Stewiacke River meets to the mouth) is tidal and the river experiences a tidal bore twice daily, with some bores reaching up to 3 m in height at certain points along the river. Local tourism operators offer adventure seekers a chance to ride with the bore on high-horse power Zodiac Hurricanes. It is also a popular surfing spot for experienced Sea Kayakers.〔(''Nova Scotia Blogs'' )〕 The river flows through part of northern Halifax County, forming the boundary with Hants County before forming the boundary between Hants and Colchester County. The Shubenacadie Valley hosts a diversified agricultural economy and is also experiencing suburban sprawl, given its location in the Halifax-Truro transportation corridor. ==See also== * Shubenacadie Canal * List of rivers of Nova Scotia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shubenacadie River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
