The West and North Rivers meet at the southwest end of the harbour while the Hillsborough flows in from the northeast. Though the mouths of the rivers are mostly within the confines of the city, they run deep into the rural countryside. The Hillsborough, PEI\u2019s longest river, reaches almost to the North Shore, flowing through a mix of farms, forests, and wetlands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesocialshell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1G0A2821-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesocialshell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1G0A2821-980x637.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.thesocialshell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1G0A2821-480x312.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption>The region has been an important oyster harvesting area since the nineteenth century.
