Mary,

   Ducks Unlimited operates several man-made marshes in Cumberland County, the biggest ones being Amherst Marsh (LaPlanche River) and Missaguash Marsh (Missaguash River, on the N.B. border). They have constructed a number of canals there, of different dimensions. The idea is to increase the numbers of waterfowl being produced at these marshes by increasing the patchiness of the duck  habitat. Some of these canals look brand new. They own a very impressive floating dredge, used both to construct an maintain these canals.

   Google Missaguash River and see whether these canals look like the canals at Wallace and Pugwash. BTW, great canoeing and lots of wildlife along these canals, but very few campsites!

<br/>> This summer I've been exploring some very interesting wetlands between the Wallace and Pugwash rivers. If you do a satellite view google maps you can see at least 4 of them have been significantly canalled. Remarkably so. One has huge parallel canals. Are these preacadian? The native people in this area were known for trading duck potato. Did they farm it?
