The Richibucto River system

The Richibucto River system is the second-largest drainage basin in southeastern New Brunswick. The entire area of the Richibucto estuary exceeds 1,400 square kilometres (560 square miles). The general shape of the drainage basin is rectangular. It covers 1,088 square kilometres (435 square miles) and the average elevation is 45.5 metres (149 feet) above sea level. The shallow bay is fed mostly by three rivers: the main Richibucto River, the St. Charles River and the St. Nicholas River. In 1994 the Richibucto River Association (RRA) was formed to help protect the river.
