Hunter River (Prince Edward Island)
- Hunter River (Prince Edward Island)
The Hunter River, also known as the Clyde River, is a Canadian river in northwestern Queens County, Prince Edward Island.
From its source near Hartsville, the river flows northerly, becoming a tidal estuary at New Glasgow, an arm of Rustico Bay which gradually widens to approximately 750 metres wide. It discharges into the Gulf of St Lawrence. The river's total meander length is approximately 13 kilometres, with an additional 8 kilometres being an estuary.
The river runs through the communities of Hunter River, New Glasgow and North Rustico. There was at one time a ferry at Hunter River and the river was dammed in at least two locations to power mills. The headponds are still in existence.
The watershed covers approximately 9,000 hectares (22,000 acres). [ [http://hcwg.editme.com/files/Home/HCWG%20VERSION%204 [1] [1] .0.pdf Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group, "Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group Discussion Paper", 2008] , p. 3]
The local Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group was established in 2000 to improve and maintain the health of the watershed’s ecosystem.
