The Stewiacke River is a river in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia that starts at Round Lake in Pictou County and flows into the Shubenacadie River in Colchester County running through the Stewiacke Valley.

Atlantic Salmon

Historically the Stewiacke River was home to a population of the Inner Bay of Fundy population of Atlantic Salmon, A commercial fishery existed on the river until the mid 1980's and a popular sport fishery as well. A promotional movie was filmed in Middle Stewiacke in 1983 by Lee Wulff and Joan Wulff titled "Autumn Silver".
In 1989, the salmon returns started a steep decline that led to the closure of the Stewiacke as well as all other IBoF rivers.
