But none were quite as much fun (for some value of “fun”) as the Reversing Falls at the mouth of the St John River in New Brunswick. Slack tide is twenty minutes and you still have whirlpools. And we had thick foam above the gorge with whirling hidden logs in it

White water kayakers ride the currents at peak times.

But what a treasure that river is!
