Hydrology
The river drains an area of 1429 km². The mean discharge at the gauge 32 km above the mouth is 14.7 m³ / s. In April and May the river carries the largest amount of water with an average of 40.6 and 45.0 m³ / s. The influence of the tidal currents extends up the Southwest Miramichi River to the confluence of the Renous River.
