The Petitcodiac River /pɛtiˈkoʊdi.æk/ is a river in south-eastern New Brunswick, Canada. Referred to as the "chocolate river" by local tourist businesses, it is characterized by its brown mud floor and brown waters. The river has a meander length of 79 kilometres (49 miles) and is located in Westmorland, Albert, and Kings counties, draining a watershed area of about 2,071 square kilometres (800 sq mi). The watershed features valleys, ridges, and rolling hills, and is home to a diverse population of terrestrial and aquatic species. Ten named tributaries join the river in its course toward its mouth in Shepody Bay. Before the construction of a causeway in 1968, the river had one of the world's largest tidal bores, which ranged from 1 to 2 metres (3.3–6.6 ft) in height and moved at 5 to 13

  • Der Petitcodiac (englisch Petitcodiac River; französisch Rivière Petitcodiac; informell Chocolate River) ist ein kanadischer Fluss im Südosten von New Brunswick. Der Fluss verläuft durch Westmorland County, Albert County und Kings County. Der Fluss mündet in die Bay of Fundy in den Atlantischen Ozean. Sein Einzugsgebiet beträgt rund 2000 Quadratkilometer. Aufgrund der durch starke Sedimentation verursachten Braunfärbung wird er auch Chocolate River genannt. (de)
  • El Río Petitcodiac​ (en inglés: Petitcodiac River;​ en francés: Rivière Petitcodiac)​ es un río de Canadá​ en el sudeste de Nuevo Brunswick.​ El río tiene una longitud de 79 kilómetros (49 millas) y se encuentra en los condados de Westmorland, Albert, y Kings, drenando una cuenca hidrográfica de unos 2.071 kilómetros cuadrados (800 millas cuadradas). La cuenca cuenta con valles, crestas y colinas, y es el hogar de una población diversa de especies terrestres y acuáticas. Diez afluentes se unen el río en su curso hacia su desembocadura en la bahía de Shepody. Antes de la construcción de un paso elevado en 1968, el río tenía una de las mareas más grandes del mundo, que iban de 1 a 2 metros (3.3-6.6 pies) de altura y se trasladaban a entre 5 y 13 kilómetros por hora (03.01 a 08.01 mph). Con la apertura de la calzada en abril de 2010, el río está vaciando sedimentos oceánicos. Acadios de Port Royal, Nueva Escocia colonizaron la región en 1698, pero fueron expulsados en 1755 durante la Guerra de los Siete Años. Combatientes de la resistencia de Acadia en Village-des- Blanchard (ahora Hillsborough) lucharon bajo el mando del líder francés Charles Deschamps de Boishébert en la Batalla de Petitcodiac para defenderse de las tropas británicas y sufrieron la destrucción de la mayor parte de su asentamiento. Las tropas británicas llegaron al río tres años más tarde y empezaron la Campaña Río Petitcodiac. (es)
  • La rivière Petitcodiac, ou rivière Petitcoudiac (en français: [pɛti.kɔ.djak], en anglais [pɛtiˈkoʊdi.æk] ), est un cours d'eau canadien qui, le long de ses 129 km de cours, arrose le sud-est du Nouveau-Brunswick, formant la frontière entre les comtés d'Albert et de Westmorland. Siège du Grand Moncton, l'une des agglomérations ayant la plus forte croissances démographiques au Canada, sa vallée est habitée depuis des millénaires. La rivière est importante dans l'histoire des Micmacs et des Acadiens. La Petitcodiac est l'un des cours d'eau dont l'écosystème est le plus menacé au Canada. (fr)
  • The Petitcodiac River /pɛtiˈkoʊdi.æk/ is a river in south-eastern New Brunswick, Canada. Referred to as the "chocolate river" by local tourist businesses, it is characterized by its brown mud floor and brown waters. The river has a meander length of 79 kilometres (49 miles) and is located in Westmorland, Albert, and Kings counties, draining a watershed area of about 2,071 square kilometres (800 sq mi). The watershed features valleys, ridges, and rolling hills, and is home to a diverse population of terrestrial and aquatic species. Ten named tributaries join the river in its course toward its mouth in Shepody Bay. Before the construction of a causeway in 1968, the river had one of the world's largest tidal bores, which ranged from 1 to 2 metres (3.3–6.6 ft) in height and moved at 5 to 13 kilometres per hour (3.1–8.1 mph). With the opening of the causeway gates in April 2010, the river is flushing itself of ocean silts, and the bore is returning to its former size. The Mi'kmaq were the first to settle near the river, and used it as part of a portage route between Shubenacadie and the village of Petitcodiac, where they had a winter camp. Acadians from Port Royal, Nova Scotia colonised the region in 1698, but were expelled in 1755 during the Seven Years' War. Acadian resistance fighters in Village-des-Blanchard (now Hillsborough) fought under the command of French leader Charles Deschamps de Boishébert in the Battle of Petitcodiac to fend off British troops and suffered the destruction of most of their settlement. The British troops revisited the river three years later and conducted the Petitcodiac River Campaign. In the 1840s, the Greater Moncton area saw a shipbuilding boom, but this was halted following the arrival of the steam train, and forced the town to unincorporate. These changes eventually marginalised the Petitcodiac River. In 1968, a controversial rock-and-earth fill causeway was built between Moncton and Riverview to prevent agricultural flooding and to carry a crossing between the two communities. The causeway caused many problems for the river and its surrounding ecosystem. An estimated 10 million cubic metres (13 million cubic yards) of silt was deposited in the 4.7 km (2.9 mi) of river downstream from the causeway in the first three years following construction. The causeway restricted the movement of fish and reduced the region's salmon catches by 82 percent. Water quality has also dropped thanks to industrial expansion around the area. In 2003, Earthwild International designated the Petitcodiac River as the most endangered river in Canada because of these problems. On 14 April 2010, the causeway's gates were opened permanently as part of a $68 million three-phase project designed to restore the river. The causeway was replaced with a bridge, completed in September 2021. (en)
  • Il Petitcodiac è un fiume canadese situato nella parte a sud-est del Nuovo Brunswick. Spesso le acque di questo fiume (per via dei mulinelli naturali che si creano) si colorano di marrone, bizzarria che gli ha valso il soprannome di "fiume di cioccolato". Il fiume ha una lunghezza di circa lunghezza 129 km ed ha un bacino di drenaggio di più di 2.000 km². Vicino alle rive del Petitcodiac vivono circa 175.000 persone. Il fiume ha la sorgente nei pressi del villaggio francofono di Petitcodiac (a cui dà il nome), e scende attraversando quasi tutto il Nuovo Brunswick, unendosi anche ai fiumi Annagance e Little River. Il fiume serpeggia nella part est del Nuovo Brunswick attraversando il villaggio di Hillsborough e varie città tra cui Moncton, Dieppe e Riverview prima di rigettarsi nella . Nel Petitcodiac fino agli anni sessanta vi era una numerosa comunità di salmoni Gaspereau e di storioni, negli ultimi decenni l'industria sfrenata ha diminuito considerevolmente la popolazione dei salmonidi. Da pochi anni a questa parte si sta cercando di reintrodurre salmoni adulti e piccoli. (it)

  • Петикодьяк (англ. Petitcodiac River) — река в юго-восточной части провинции Нью-Брансуик Канады. Площадь бассейна реки составляет 2071 км², длина 79 км. На берегах реки, в том месте, где река образует меандр Куд, расположен второй по величине город Нью-Брансуика, Монктон. Река образуется слиянием своих главных притоков — рек Норт и Анаджанс в графстве Альберт, течёт по территории графств Кингс и Вестморленд, впадает в бухту Шеподи, которая в свою очередь является частью бухты Шигнекто залива Фанди. По поверью название происходит от фр. petit coude — «маленький локоть». Фактически, название происходит от микмакского слова Epetkutogoyek, означающее «река, которая сгибается подобно поклону» (имеется в виду меандр Куд в Монктоне). Из-за цвета воды Петикодьяк часто называют англ. chocolate River — «шоколадной рекой». До строительства на реке дамбы в районе Монктона на реке наблюдался бор (приливная волна) высотой 1—2 метра, катящийся вверх по течению со скоростью от 5 до 13 км/час. (ru)
