It has a meander length of approximately 50 Km from its source at Shubenacadie Grand Lake to its mouth at the historic seaport village of Maitland on Cobequid Bay . The lower 30 km of the river 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 . 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. |
