Content: Adding the section of river and lake from the outlet of East Grand Lake gives a total length of 95 miles (153 km) to the St. Croix. The total drainage area of the river is approximately 1,500 square miles (3,900 km 2 ). In the 20th century, the river was heavily developed for hydroelectric power. The river had previously hosted a large population of Atlantic salmon; however, the salmon population was reduced after building hydroelectric dams upriver from Calais-St. Stephen.

This tidal area extends for approximately 16 miles (26 km) along this section and exhibits a tidal bore . Navigation
