Anagance

The Anagance is a small river that meets the Petitcodiac at its western bend, in a wooded country between the Bay of Fundy and the Saint John valley. Its name recalls a portage: travellers could cross from the Anagance to the Kennebecasis and continue into the lower Saint John system. The Mi'kmaq also had a winter camp at the meeting of the Anagance and North rivers, where the Petitcodiac begins.
