- The Shubenacadie River is arguably Nova Scotia's most famous waterway with a rich history of being an important link from the open Atlantic Ocean to the Bay of Fundy. Much has changed since the Mi'kmaq relied on this river many years ago, but today the river is still enjoyed and cherished by many. To get the full experience Matt, Jeff, Dave, Noah and Osa (the dog) attempt to paddle the full 100+ kms from the Halifax Harbour to Maitland.

What a wide range of experiences you lay out for us! Once again, thank you so much for an informative, fun, well filmed, great inspiration!
Love from Norway🇧🇻 and the half canadian😉🇨🇦
As a Nova scotian, I love this opportunity to see our province from the inland waterways. I have only ever seen it from the sea and the land.
Cheers from Germany, had to see this video. We've been four times to Nova Scotia and absolutely fell in love with the landscape, the people and the way of living. Miss my cup of Timmy's.☕ We hope to come back some day soon. I recognized some places. As soon as I saw the name of the river I had to see it. Three years ago we went on a tidal bore rafting trip there. It was absolutely amazing and a true adventure for someone like me. The guide told us it would be totally easy and it had been a long time since the last one fell out of the boat with all the 2+ meter waves. And now guess who was under the boat in the river only two minutes later?🤣 Great fun. I really miss Nova Scotia, can't wait to come back.
Haha! That is a great story. Hopefully you'll be back soon :)
It's half Germany now anyway the way they buy the land
Are there so many Germans buying land in Nova Scotia?
@@thalor1918 The German Ronald McDonald ("Germonald McDonald"), is buying huge tracts of land, for to build numerous huge Big Big Big Big Playplace's, on.
Spent most of my summers on Lake Charles. Such good memories there.
Hey Eck, didn't expect to see you here
Proud to be a fellow Haligonian with Eck.
I also spend my summers on lake charles, its beautiful there
What are you doing here
I just have to say, I screamed and clapped my hands like a teenage fangirl when I saw Dave was back. Not saying you should have more Dave cameos but I'm not, not saying it either. Also, I always love your music choices for your videos. Another interesting adventure, looking forward to your next one!
Agree with every comment made here 👍
I did that crossing in 1973, that was one of the best times. I enjoyed your film I felt like I was there. Thanks
As a Nova Scotian, you will always have a reminder of this trip. You can never get rid of all of the red dirt stains.
Oh ya lol
Did this by kayak in 1990. Had a great time. Will play your vid every now and then and pretend I am still forty four.😅
Thanks for sharing Noah.... really enjoy these NS adventures. Keep bringing Dave (Osa) and the Lads along.... continued safe travels !
The height of land!! I will never hear that again without thinking of the barrenland series where you sang the height of land song 😂
"When will the boys reach the height of land?"
@@NorthernScavenger "we don't know but we'll keep goingggg"
The Green Bastard from parts unknown! Could there be a more suiting name for that vessel?!
What an ideal way to show off our little corner of the world! Nice work.
I love learning about our brothers to the North and the rich experiences they are sharing. I’ll give it another reflection this evening with a cold preferably Canadian brew. Thanks again to Noah and the boys, dog too! Cheers from Steve in St Augustine, FL.
Just started watching but it's always good to see Dave!
All that dragging brings back memories of my trip down the Bow in the middle of august.
Dave's back! I tried to see if he had his own channel but I couldn't find anything, so it's great to see him back! And the new stars seem like great dudes to paddle with as well! Osa is so well behaved!
Dave does not post to UA-cam but he does host an adventure speaking platform. Check it out here www.nightofadventure.com/
@@NorthernScavenger awesome, thanks!
Hands down the best part of every video is the attempt to remember an idiom.
I lived in Halifax for 15 yrs and often wondered about the Shube canal system, and how it once worked in down town Dartmouth. Thanks for explaining the parts of the system today. Always said that this is a beautiful resource that should be dredged for boaters/kayaks with working locks, where required. Cheer's H
So good to see Dave after all this time.
Thank you for bringing us along. Enjoyed it tremendously!
Sooo much fun to watch. I first paddled that system solo when I was 17 years old. Also bought my esquif from that very shop. Cheers
Old Creel is a great local shop to have in Nova Scotia !
This was terrific. I live in NY on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. By car the farthest east I've been is Bar Harbor and the farthest north is Quebec City. I hope to get to Nova Scotia one day.
Its really quite nice here. Would love to have you. A warm welcome when you do.
She's a beaut. Check out Cape Breton Island.
I grew up in Nova Scotia, but moved away 25 years ago but still consider it to be home.
Thanks for this, it was awesome!
Thanks guys. Brings back memories.
What an absolutely epic adventure. It’s a real treat watching your videos Noah. I just love them.
You guys are awesome. Your sense of adventure puts a smile on my face! Great group of guys finding the most beautiful and wild areas to explore. Thanks for taking us along with you. I know it’s a lot of work filming and editing your videos and we most appreciate it!
Always looking for your uploads...amazing video once again! Cannot wait for the next one! Back to rewatching your old ones for the week!
Appreciate it Scott
Well that was a welcome surprise, just what I needed today! Beautifully composed video. Tuggin on the heartstrings at the end there!
I grew up in Enfield and the river was a big part of my childhood I recognized parts of the river in the video. Iv never had the opportunity to do something like this. But I can definitely see myself doing this !! Thanks for the inspiration
Awesome video guys 👊
What a beautiful province we live in.
Fantastic drone video.
All your adventures keep getting better and better.
Thanks Noah for taking us along.
Can't wait for your next adventure.
Cheers 👌
Now this is just amazing, pure and simple
After living 14 years in Manitoba I'm finally moving back home to Nova Scotia. Maybe someday I'll try this
You guys just keep putting out great vids. This was so interesting---cityscapes here and there, the foggy tidal bore, interesting histories. Visually really awesome.
This was great! As a bass researcher who rides the tides on this river often, I will say you guys had a good river experience, lower tides, low wind! 28 footers and wind make the area from Caddels Rapids to Black Rock treacherous.
Tide times and sizes are best correlated with Saint John NB heigh tide times. At 25.5 kilometres from the mouth the tide is 1 hour 45 minutes after, always and consistently.
This was my first time watching one of your videos. I go through phases of how much I watch this type of content, but youve got me hooked. Great content.
Heck yeah finally. Been waiting for this since the cbc interview.
My dad and a couple of my uncle's all live on that river just past where the nine mile river empties in, elmsdsle/Lantz...spent alot of time in that river...love It, love this documentary...thank you
Noah you did a great job on some of the history, nice work.
Oh my word boys, another awesome adventure!!
Osa is my favorite member of the cast for this one. Thanks for sharing guys.
Osa is also our favourite member!
Thanks for this great video, loved to follow your trip.
Coincidentally, I rode the tidal bore yesterday. Near the mouth of the river, the front wave is almost 2 feet tall, and the waves that follow can be as high as 6 feet this time of year. Sitting in the front of the boat, waves washed over my head. It gets fairly turbulent. If you don't hold on with all your might, you'll get swept out of the boat. Several people were washed from the boat, but the drivers are extremely experienced. No one was hurt or in the water long. It was certainly an adventure of a life time. The current you paddled through was nothing compared to it. If you get a chance to go, go. You'll know what those fishermen on the shore meant.
I always wondered what the entire river system would be like to paddle. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Awesome. What a great adventure and so good to see this river and connections.
Enjoyed this video as well as your last series. Keep 'em coming!
Another great vid Noah. Route, buddies, camera work, story line, music. Yar di yar di ya. Thank you.
Beautiful scenery and great to see Dave again As a NovaScotian paddler I love your videos .
Another EPIC trip!!! Luv it!!
Awesome. I love this video. Thanks for sharing.
I just discovered this canal a couple summers ago, grew up outside Halifax. I walked, drove the route over three days. The scenery is amazing, such variations in geography as you cross NS. Thanks for the video!
Love Love Love this!!!!
Very interesting, I've been waiting for this one too and can't wait to watch it, wow movie length. 👌
It's cool to be scrolling through the channel, watching all these inspiring videos, and then see this one with my old coworker, Jeff! Great dude and funny as heck. Keep paddling!
Jeff is awesome!
Another great video. I had forgotten you did that trip last year so was excited when I seen it come up in my list. Going back to rewatch Labrador soon. My favorite series.
Thanks George
That was beautiful. Thank you.
Excellent trip Noah! So unique in so many ways...urban, historical, beer portage, canoe shop and presentation, low water, tides. Grew up on the Left Coast but never dreamed of canoeing around salt water. Now living on the edge of the Northern Boreal and loving the wild spaces and places. 8 years ago strapping son and I were able to sustain 9.3 kms per hour across Tulabi Lake for about 10 minutes with a brisk Canadian Stroke fully loaded and tracked by GPS. Always better time at the end of the rtrip lol. Could imagine 10 km/h sustained, what a ride.
Another Epic Adventure!
Excellent videography.
What a great video ,excellent photography and a well planned journey..thanks for sharing and stay safe guys!
love all of your videos. people need to participate more in what you do. Cheers and beers. keep posting.
What a cool adventure! You sure are experienceing everything Nova Scotia has to offer!
Epic boys. Thanks for the journey.
Thanks for another amazing video
Aw, another awesome video!
Great trip, and marvelous video.
The dog ❤️
And great job on video guys! Really enjoyed it!
I did some tidal bore rafting on my 19th bday when I visited Nova Scotia. Also got “legally” loaded downtown Halifax. It’s beautiful out east, thanks for sharing this trip men. I also named my royalex canoe the GREEN BASTARD lol
You guys kinda made me homesick .
Thanks for the upload.
Awesome trip...tahnks for sharing.
I have been looking forward to this one since I heard you talk about it on a podcast!
Amazing!! What a journey you guys achieved; very inspirational :) Great job on putting this video together. It was some nice escapism from this lockdown life. sending love from UK
Thanks Allan. Greetings from across the pond
thanks for the childhood flash back, my father used to work the shut downs at Tuffs cove and we would stay on lake waverly and get to canoe in the locks as part of their summer program. this was in the mid to late 80's
Simply amazing
Great video once again! Loved seeing an Old Town Canoe being used especially since I live in Old Town Maine where they're made! ☺️
This was awesome, guys! Getting serious trail envy - especially when you saw the otters!
Welcome to Nova Scotia bud! Picked an amazing route, hope you enjoyed it!
Unique trip and interesting terrain. Good video.
this is just incredible, guys!
Great video looked like an amazing trip
Cool to see my home of NS in this way. Hopefully I can come home soon. This is fire boys.. thanks for sharing.
More people need to see this video. As a Nova Scotian I say more people need to visit this place.
Very educational. A great opportunity to visit home while in Covid lockdown in Ontario. Thank you for including us in your adventure. Shout out to OSA!
Amazing , thank you so much. I drive that same route daily right from Dartmouth and thats the first time I ever seen it buy canoeing. Absolutely fantastic.
Unreal guys ! Great video
I forgot to say you did an excellent job on editing! Just a touch of music threshold below the nature sounds and minimal narration around great cuts. Good job!
Very cool adventure! It is really neat to see things on video that I pass everyday. That last part in the fog was pretty freaky. Thanks for sharing! :) :)
Thanks Jacqueline, it was pretty freaky for us too haha
Brilliant, Thank you.
I loved your canoe trip . I miss home so much ,thank you for bringing home to me .
Great to see Matt and Dave again! Urban portaging was hilarious lol
Cool route and very cool Old town canoe have a safe spring and good luck trout fishing this year :)
Awesome! Well Imagined. Well realized. Reminds me of my Fundy adventures, long ago, with kayak and tide tables, and a bit of luck.
I have always wanted to make this trek. Thanks for taking us along.
You should do it this summer !
Another great vid! Awesome to see Jeff in this one! I went to Acadia with him.
Hope things are well with you Marcel!
Slaying the canoe game as always! Great video! Just got out for the first time this year! 🛶
Thanks Danielle :)
Awesome Documentary!
Great video. Nicely done. Watched your expedition across Labrador then watched this one. Nice mix between narrative and B-roll. Transitioning between segments is well done. Good use of drone footage and sound editing. Great visuals and use of your other companions. Really enjoyed what you've done so I subscribed.
Thank you for showing people some of what this province has to offer
Dont know why this came up for recommendations but I'm glad it did! Ive been around these lakes my whole life and had no clue they connected that far. Also crazy I seen you would have been going right past my work and you ended up stopping there! I work in the shop that was old creek and have done work for mike hes a awesome guy! was so weird to see how the shop looked when he was there, now its filled with tool boxes and heavy equipment stuff
Awesome Job! Super educational. You guys were quite literally 'Chasing the Tide' which I think is fascinating to see. Crazy changes. You did a great job at capturing this by canoe. This route is a lot more urban, interesting to see the contrast from other landscapes you've paddled.
Great drone shots!
Great episode!
Awesome trip... thanks 😊
Awesome idea
Nicely done, boys!
