Hi All, My pal Matt recently completed a trip over the Cains-Gaspereau Ancient Portage trail in central New Brunswick. This trail was historically used to connect two of the provinces major watersheds, the St. John (Wolastoq) River and the Miramichi River(s). The trail is ~8.5km in length and...

Hi Friends! Thought I'd post a note about a fun event coming up in September. The folks at Canoe Kayak NB are hosting their Second Canoe Camping Symposium from Sept. 27-29, 2019 at Camp Pascobac on Belleisle Bay -- outside Saint John, NB. The event is amazing value ($50 for CKNB members or $70...

Hi all! I'm excited to report -- a little late -- that on the May long weekend last year (2017) I ran the Little Tobique in northwestern, New Brunswick from a put-in just outside Mt. Carlton Provincial Park to the Riley Brook General Store in Riley Brook, N.B. We put-in outside the park to...

Hi All, Thought I'd throw in another New Brunswick trip report to complete the hat trick. A friend and I portaged into the Kennedy Lakes back on the May long weekend -- May 15-18, 2015. We accessed the area via an old logging road off of Route 108 somewhere outside Renous -- see map on...
