While you’re out trying to find geocaches or even taking it a step further and finding earthcaches, you can reflect on our own wonder which is the Petitcodiac River. Our river along with the Shepody Bay estuary are important tidal systems influenced by the phenomenal Bay of Fundy tides. The tides reach upwards of 9m in height on the Petitcodiac River and 14m in the Shepody Bay area (Hopewell Rocks), uncovering kilometres of mudflats at low tide and nourishing some of the world’s greatest estuaries.
