Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Parc provincial Mont-Carleton
Mont-Carleton Provincial Park is home to some of New Brunswick's wildest landscapes: isolated lakes, deep forests, ridge trails and dark nights. The hikers find several accessible peaks, while the campers come for calm, cold waters and the impression of being far from coastal roads.
Place indismissible
Mont Carleton
Mount Carleton dominates northern New Brunswick with a wooded top that opens, in clear weather, on a sea of hills and lakes. Ascension remains the park's most significant experience: a forest trail, and then an unobstructed finish where the scale of the Sea Appalachians is measured.
River
Rivière Restigouche
The Restigouche It flows between New Brunswick and Quebec in a valley of forests, low cliffs and waters known for salmon. Canoeing, framed fishing or simple stops on the banks allow to approach a clear, broad river, very related to the Mi'kmaq traditions and historical fishing camps.
Nature and landscape
Sugarloaf Provincial Park
Near Campbellton, Sugarloaf Provincial Park around a rounded relief that serves as a hiking, cycling and ski area depending on the season. The trails lead to views of the bay of Chaleurs and the valley of the Restigouche, with a more sporty than wild atmosphere.
