Dungarvon River

[1] The Dungarvon River has its origins at several lakes in the Miramichi Highlands, part of the Appalachian Mountains, in the northeast corner of York County.

The river is noted for Atlantic salmon fishing, and is immortalized by the legend of the Dungarvon Whooper and in the Brennen Siding Trilogy by Canadian writer Herb Curtis.

The annual run of Atlantic salmon occurs from mid-June through late September of each summer and early fall.

Popular flies on the Dungarvon River include both the Cosseboom and the Black Bear series.

It is the topic of a song by Canadian Grunge Band "Metal Skirts" fronted by lead singer Derrick Timmermans.
