Saint John River in Woodstock is currently very low!

The Saint John River level is currently low enough to expose the former Island Park swimming pool in the middle of the Saint John River. 


Due to the high amounts of rain this summer, the Saint John River water level is actually two inches higher than the usual level this time of year. However, the level can be regulated by the Mactaquac dam. 



As of Sunday, despite the downpour, the Saint John River was low enough in the Woodstock area to expose a lot of land along the shoreline along with other land near the middle of the river.

  1. The exposed property was also property that no one ever sees, and probably hasn't been exposed much since before the raising of the Mactaquac dam headpond in the 1960s.
