Framboise River is an estuarine river in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The Framboise River (CAMVI) is an estuary that extends to the northwest from Seal Rocks and Framboise Cove on the coast to where Bagnells River (Bagnells Lake), Middle River Framboise and Northeast Framboise River converge.[1] Strachans Brook and Mary Anns Brook enter the estuary from the south. The mouth of the river is at 45°42′08″N 60°19′56″W / 45.702351°N 60.332088°W.[1] The community of Framboise, Nova Scotia, lies to the southwest of the river.[1] "Framboise" means raspberry in French, and probably was given as a descriptive name by the early settlers.[2]
