In the lower reaches this is about 25 feet, which increases toward the upper end till sometimes the immense height of 62 feet is reached. In many places only an expanse of red mud can be seen at low water, over which the tide rushes in a wall often six feet high. At spring tides,* the water in the Bay of Fundy is 19 feet higher than in Northumberland Strait, which is only 5 miles away.
