Overview
A brief introduction to Mira River
The Mira River ( MY-rə) is a Canadian river located in eastern Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
With a meander length of approximately 55 km (34 mi), the Mira has a very slow flow rate.  The river's source is traced to a series of lakes clustered around Victoria Bridge near the boundary with Richmond County. It is also fed by the Salmon River. Flowing past the communities of Marion Bridge and Albert Bridge, the river discharges through the "Mira Gut" at the community of the same name into the Mira Bay.  The river occupies a trench arching from southwest to northeast across the southern part of Cape Breton County; much of the eastern part of the river is a tidal estuary, with noticeable tides extending beyond Albert Bridge approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) upstream of the Gut.
