Reversing Falls

Saint John’s Reversing Falls, located in Canada, are a unique natural phenomenon driven by the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy. These tides can vary in height by up to 50 feet (15 meters) at certain times of the year, causing the Saint John River’s flow to reverse direction. As the incoming tides surge, they create a dynamic display of white-water-tinged whirlpools, waves, and rapids. Visitors can observe this dramatic interplay of water, where the river’s current battles and then yields to the force of the tides, creating a mesmerizing and ever-changing spectacle.
