Cumberland Basin (Canada)

Cumberland Basin is an inlet and northeasternmost part of the Bay of Fundy, located on the border between the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

[2] Along the Nova Scotia shore of the lower Cumberland Basin at Joggins are seaside cliffs known for fossil formations.

[citation needed] The upper Cumberland loops clockwise, north of a flatland called Elysian Fields and southeast to Amherst Point and the mouth of the Maccan River.

[1] Across the basin from the mouth of the Maccan River, the mud and sand flats and salt marshes exposed at low tide attract millions of shorebirds during fall migration.

A small portion of the Upper Cumberland Basin has been protected as Chignecto National Wildlife Area.
