The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world, up to 15 meters. On the upper reaches of the rivers leading into the bay, a tidal bore is created when the flood tide is moving up stream. The height of the bore varies with the size of the flood and the location on the river. One of the more interesting places to view the bore is on the Shubenacadie River, where there is a good viewing platform built on the old railway bridge.
