The 'Kouchibouguac River' is a
river in eastern
New Brunswick which empties into the
Northumberland Strait north of
Richibucto, New Brunswick.
This river flows through
Kouchibouguac National Park. The river's name means "river of the long tides" in
Mi'kmaq.
During the
1800s, the
white pine forests of the area were logged to provide masts and booms for the ships of the
British Navy. Ships were built at the mouth of this river to transport the logs to
England.
