  • The Nashwaak River, located in west-central New Brunswick, Canada, is a tributary of the Saint John River. It is 113 kilometres long. The river rises from (southeast of the village of Juniper) and flows south and east through uninhabited land and rapids to the village of Stanley. From Stanley, the Nashwaak flows southeast to and Taymouth, then south the through several rural communities such as Durham Bridge, the historic town of Nashwaak Village and Penniac before it reaches the town of Marysville. It flows into the Saint John River opposite downtown Fredericton. The river's name comes from the Maliseet language, a corruption of the word for slow current. It was used heavily by the Maliseet people as a transportation route to northwestern New Brunswick. A French fort, Fort Nashwaak, was built at the river's mouth in 1692 (near present day Barker's Point, New Brunswick) and was the first European settlement in the Fredericton area. It was captured by the British in 1696, and land along the river was later granted to United Empire Loyalists during the American Revolution. Further settlement occurred through the 19th century. A rail line and Route 8, both important links from southern to northern New Brunswick, were built along the river's shore. The rails were removed in 1995 and it is now a walking trail. Today, the river is popular for canoeing and salmon fishing, and tubing. (en)
  • La Nashwaak est une rivière du Nouveau-Brunswick. La rivière prend sa source au , au sud de Juniper et se jette en rive gauche du fleuve Saint-Jean à Fredericton. Les communautés le long de son cours sont, d'amont en aval, , Nashwaak Bridge, Taymouth, Durham Bridge, Nashwaak Village, Penniac et Fredericton. Le nom de la rivière est d'origine malécite et signifie courant lent : le peuple des Malécites utilisait couramment la rivière pour se déplacer dans le nord-ouest de la province. Les Français de Villebon construisirent le Fort Nashwaak à son embouchure en 1692 et ce fut le premier établissement européen de la région. Une expédition anglaise en octobre 1696 n'a pas réussi à le détruire et fut repoussée. Une autre incursion britannique à l'hiver 1759 mit le feu à la chapelle et à quelques bâtiments à Sainte-Anne, en face du fort, avant de retraiter à Fort Frederick à l'embouchure du fleuve. À la suite de la révolution américaine, des soldats écossais démobilisés du 42e Régiment des Highlanders, connus sous le surnom de Black Watch, ont reçu des terres données aux loyalistes dans les environs. D'autres établissements furent fondés au cours du XIXe siècle. Un chemin de fer, maintenant un sentier, et la route 8 furent construites le long de ses rives. De nos jours, la rivière est prisée des amateurs de canot et de pêche au saumon. (fr)
