The Napanee River
Did You Know.............
The Napanee River is known not only for its beauty, but for the fact that it has its own tide. The river will rise and lower regularly between six and sixteen inches. This phenomenon is known as a seiche tide and is a function of several factors, including a strong push of wind to the north shore of Lake Ontario.
