Digby Gut is an inlet that breaks through the line of the North Mountain Range at the north-east end of Digby Neck, and connects the Bay of Fundy with Annapolis Basin.

The Digby Gut is a narrow channel connecting the

drowned river valley.^[2]

Digby Gut is overlooked by the

Digby Pines Resort and has been used daily for many years by Digby-Saint John ferries such as the SS Princess Helene and MV Princess of Acadia. The famous poet Bliss Carman wrote a classic Canadian poem of courage about a fearless twelve-year-old sailor who single-handedly sailed a schooner through Digby Gut during a storm, entitled "Arnold, Master of the Scud".^[3]
