General presentation
Miramichi
Large salmon river and small communities combined by a strong forest, maritime and Irish tradition.
Miramichi's discovery revolves around Beaubears Island, Metepenagiag Heritage Park and Miramichi River. The stay thus alternates between river landscapes, forests and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Île Beaubears
Beaubears Island is located at the meeting point of the two arms of the Miramichi, in a wooded setting that contrasts with its busy history. It evokes both the Acadian refuge of Boishébert and the period of the shipyards, with paths that let feel the isolation of this river island.
Nature and scenery
Metepenagiag Heritage Park
Metepenagiag Heritage Park tells of an ancient Mi-kmaq presence on the edge of the Miramichi, from major archaeological sites and community stories. Exhibitions, objects, trails and views on the river place the territory in a long, inhabited and ever-living Aboriginal history.
River
Rivière Miramichi
The river Miramichi The entire region, with its large brown waters, wooded coves and fishing villages, is mostly associated with Atlantic salmon, but it is already a strong impression of the country, as it is sailing along at sunset or stopping near its bridges.
Culture and heritage
Middle Island Irish Historical Park
Middle Island Irish Historical Park It is a small island linked to the arrival of Irish immigrants affected by famine and the difficult crossings of the 19th century. The trails, monuments and signs give a sober visit, between migration memories, views of the Miramichi and silence of the banks.
