Magaguadavic River >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "Magaguadavic" (pronounced "mack-uh-day-vick" or "mack-uh-day-vee") is a Maliseet (Maliseet-Passamaquoddy) Native word meaning "River of Eels". The Magaguadavic River is the sixth largest river in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, measuring approximately 129 kilometers (80 miles) in length. The river has 103 named tributaries and 55 lakes in a drainage of 1812 square km. The river begins as an outlet on the southeastern bank of Magaguadavic Lake and, at that point, flows south through a controlled dam, ultimately emptying into the Passamaquoddy Bay. The Magaguadavic River flows through the rural communities of Wilmot, Upper and Lower Brockway, Flume Ridge, Pomeroy, Lee Settlement, Bonny River, Second Falls and into St. George. At St. George, the Magaguadavic River is a source of hydroelectric power as its waters pass through a dam. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Morrow" <cammor@axionet.com> To: <newbrunswick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 8:51 PM Subject: [ NB ] Where is "Maguaguadevic"? > Trying to sort out a birth place as recorded in a Saint John marriage > registration.
