New Brunswick Top Things To Do
New Brunswick has a 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 from Edmundston to Rivière-du-Loup in Québec; the Fundy Trail Parkway; and the Acadian Coastal Trail.
Swimming in the sea
The province's beaches are renowned for their warm water (they are among the warmest north of Virginia). There are over 40 public swimming beaches, notably Parlee Beach (a provincial park) and Kellys Beach (in Kouchibouguac National Park).
Fishing
With 3,814km (19,884 miles) of rivers and streams, New Brunswick is a popular destination for anglers. The Miramichi River, in particular, is famous for salmon fishing. Deep-sea fishing boats are available for charter.
Paddling
Kayakers often head to the Bay of Fundy, where they can paddle 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.
Lighthouses
New Brunswick's picturesque lighthouses, which have safeguarded the maritime province for decades, are great lunch spots. Some lovely ones to have a picnic beside include Cocagne Lighthouse, Cape Enrage Light Station, Quaco Head Lighthouse and Richibucto Head Lighthouse.
Covered bridges
New Brunswick is home to 63 pretty and quirky, historic covered bridges. Particularly famous is the Hartland Covered Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the world.
