Location description
This location is on a point of land where Middle River meets MacRae Brook. Middle River water data is being recorded at a test site slightly upstream from where the brook flows into the river. There is always a current present so the water is always moving even when the water level drops in the warm season. Access to the water testing spot is safe most of the year though the tip of the point of land can be covered when there is a significant rainfall. The water flow/depth is also affected by snow melt from the Cape Breton Highlands.
