Reversing Falls Saint John.

One of the rare wonders of the world is the reversing falls in Saint John, New Brunswick. Th Saint John River flows into the Bay of Fundy right smack in the center of the city. Here the tide is the highest in the world and sometimes reaches 58 feet. When the Bay is at low tide the water rushing out of the river makes a waterfall of considerable height. When the Bay is at high tide the water flows into the river and creates a waterfall flowing inward.

Ships travelling upstream or downstream choose the time when the tide equalizes the water flow and there is no current to speak of. This has been a tourist attraction and most people travelling East make a stop to see this rare occurrence.
