Saint John River
New Brunswick's artery
The Saint John River is a major waterway in northeastern North America, flowing approximately 400 miles from northern Maine through New Brunswick, Canada, to the Bay of Fundy.
It serves as part of the U.S.-Canada border and is notable for the reversing falls at its mouth, where tides from the bay force the river to flow backward.
