The Petitcodiac River, often called the Chocolate River, flows through Moncton and is famous for its brown, silty colour and dramatic tidal bore.

The Bay of Fundy’s powerful tides push upriver twice a day, reversing the current and creating visible waves that draw visitors to its banks. Its nickname comes from the rich, chocolate-coloured water caused by suspended sediment—one of the most distinctive sights in the region.
