Petite Rivière

Petite Rivière is a river in Nova Scotia, Canada located entirely within Lunenburg County. It is fed by numerous lakes and a portion of the watershed is the drinking water supply for the Town of Bridgewater.

Three of the lakes on Petite Rivière (Hebb, Millipisigate and Minamkeak) are the only known habitat of the Atlantic Whitefish. Through damming of the lakes, some of the water that once fed the Medway River now flows through the Petite Rivière system. There was a water aerodrome at Fancy Lake.
