• Make the most of New Brunswick's vast network of walking, hiking and biking trails, including: the International Appalachian Trail, linking with the US trail at Mount Katahdin; Le Petit Temis, which stretches to Riviere-du-Loup in Québec; the Fundy Trail Parkway; and the Acadian Coastal Trail, beginning at Dalhousie.

• Enjoy New Brunswick's beaches, which are renowned for their warm water (they are among the warmest north of Virginia), and there are 42 so-called ‘ocean hot spots' that are particularly good for swimming, notably Parlee Beach and Kelly's Beach (in Kouchibouguac National Park).

• Go fishing in New Brunswick's 3,814km (19,884 miles) of rivers and streams. The Mirimachi River, in particular, is famous for salmon fishing. Deep-sea fishing boats are available for charter.

• Kayak in the Bay of Fundy, interweaving between the gravity-defying rocks of Hopewell Cape. For those who wish to engage in some canoeing, New Brunswick's many rivers are an ideal location to do so.

• Have lunch in one of New Brunswick's picturesque lighthouses, which have safeguarded the maritime province for decades. Some lovely ones to have a picnic beside include Cocagne Lighthouse, Cape Enrage Lightstation, Quaco Head Lighthouse and Richibucto Head Lighthouse.

• See some of New Brunswick's numerous pretty and quirky, historic covered bridges. Particular ones of note include Salmon Bridge, complete with original iron braces, and Hartland Covered Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the world.
