Geography

Colinet is notable for two rivers, the Rocky and the Colinet, which enter the sea in or near the town.

The Rocky River has a man-made salmon ladder spanning the 8 metres (26 ft) waterfalls at its mouth. Originally not a salmon river because of those falls, the river was seeded with salmon fry in the mid-1980s. The salmon began using the man-made ladder to bypass the falls in 1987. In 2002, the river opened to recreational anglers, making it Atlantic Canada's newest salmon river.
