Campbellton (Acadian Coastal Drive and Appalachian Range Route)

Nestled at the mouth of the beautiful Restigouche River, Campbellton combines the best of the great outdoors with cultural charm for a unique urban experience. This is the perfect place for a reflective waterfront stroll and a hot spot for outdoor activities such as kayaking, canoeing, hiking, bird watching and fishing.

The fishing connection is strong – join in by having your photo taken with ‘Restigouche Sam’, the largest salmon in the world (the statue adorns the impressive fountain in the city centre). Or try to time your visit to coincide with the Campbellton Salmon Festival.

Worth a visit, too, is the Galerie Restigouche, part art gallery, part cultural centre. There are breathtaking views from the top of the chairlift at nearby Sugarloaf Provincial Park, which also offers thrilling mountain biking. Fill your lungs with the freshest air on the Restigouche Trail: with the ancient Appalachian range surrounding the city, there is no end to the wonder you’ll discover.
