The [[Petitcodiac River]] exhibits one of North America's few [[tidal bore]]s: a regularly occurring wave that travels up the river on the leading edge of the incoming tide. The bore is a result of the [[Bay of Fundy]]'s extreme tides. Originally, the bore was very impressive, sometimes between {{convert|1|and|2|m}} high and extending across the {{convert|1|km}} width of the [[Petitcodiac River]] in the Moncton area. This wave occurred twice a day at high tide, travelling at an average speed of {{convert|13|km/h|abbr=on}} and producing an audible roar.<ref name="The Tidal Bore">{{cite web |url=http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2000/11/the-tidal-bore/ |title=Legion Magazine : The Tidal Bore |year=2000 |work=Legion Magazine |access-date=June 26, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511112002/http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2000/11/the-tidal-bore/ |archive-date=May 11, 2011 |url-status=live}}</ref> Unsurprisingly, the "bore" became a very popular early tourist attraction for the city, but when the Petitcodiac causeway was built in the 1960s, the river channel quickly silted in and reduced the bore so that it rarely exceeded {{convert|15|to|20|cm}} in height.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2000/11/the-tidal-bore/ |title=Info on the Tidal bore in Moncton |date=March 13, 2007 |work=Legion Magazine |access-date=June 26, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511112002/http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/index.php/2000/11/the-tidal-bore/ |archive-date=May 11, 2011 |url-status=live}}</ref> On April 14, 2010, the causeway gates were opened in an effort to restore the silt-laden river.<ref name="After 42 Years..."/> A recent tidal bore since the opening of the causeway gates measured a {{convert|2|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} wave, unseen for many years.<ref name="Tidal Bore Makes Waves">{{cite web|url=http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/front/article/1031687|title=Tidal Bore Makes Waves|year=2010|access-date=March 27, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100501122518/http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/front/article/1031687|archive-date=May 1, 2010}}</ref>
