The Shubenacadie River is a river in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia .

The Shubenacadie River forms the drain of Shubenacadie Grand Lake - 30 km north of Halifax . It meanders in a northerly direction past Enfield and Shubenacadie and flows into Cobequid Bay at Maitland , which is the northern part of the Minas Basin . The tides are noticeable in the lower 30 km of the river . Twice a day a tidal wave up to 3 m high flows upstream.

Local tourism companies offer rafting and boat tours on the tidal river. Tributaries are the Nine Mile River from the left, and the St. Andrews River and Stewiacke River from the right. The Shubenacadie River is 72 km long. The Shubenacadie Canal runs from Halifax Harbor to Shubenacadie Grand Lake.
