Oven Head Island is a tidal island in the Saint Patrick Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The Digdeguash Estuary runs 6km from Oven Head to Salmon Falls.[8]
The term "Oven Head" traditionally refers to both the tidal island, and the mainland adjacent to it attached by a gravel bar at low tide.
As of 2002, it was crown land protected under the Department of Energy and Resource Development, listed as Oven Head Provincial Park Reserve.[9] It was later purchased by the Irving family who built private residences on the island.
It has brecciated rhyolite,[10] and felsic pyroclastic rock.[11]
