New Brunswick has established a scenic drive network guaranteed to guide any tourist through their province so that nothing is missed..River Valley Scenic Drive, Fundy Coastal Drive, Miramichi River Route, Acadian Coastal Drive and also the Appalachian Range. The Fundy tides really are the highest in the world...the Miramichi really is the best salmon river in the world...the Appalachians really are the oldest mountain range in North America..and the saltwater beaches of the Gulf of St. Lawrence really are the warmest north of Virginia.
River Valley Scenic Drive one of five scenic drives in this provincial network, begins at the Quebec border and ends where the St. John River confronts the Bay of Fundy. With some of the most beautiful scenery in creation; the most successful companies in existence; the most celebrated art on the continent, it is the most scenic river experience in Atlantic Canada
Fundy Coastal Drive don't be alarmed if you see fishing boats at St. Martins or tankers at Courtenay Bay in Saint John sitting on dry land. Just wait a few hours, the tide will come in and they will be rolling on waves as they should. When we talk about the highest tides in the world, New Brunswick is not joking. In some places the vertical difference between high and low tide is 48 feet.
Acadian Coastal Drive more than a quarter million Acadians, the largest concentration anywhere in the world, live in New Brunswick. The 1994 World Acadian Congress drew Acadians from around the world. Explore this unique culture and participate in hundreds of special events and unique activities by following the beaches, attractions and scenic drive signs of the coastal highways from Aulac to Campbellton.
Miramichi River Route ever synonymous with the world's greatest salmon angling, Miramichi is now also the name of New Brunswick's newest city. Formerly the towns of Chatham and Newcastle and surrounding areas, the city of Miramichi is your start to this river route stretching from Miramichi Bay through wilderness, wild water and tranquil villages to the Nashwaak River, and on the province's capital at Fredericton.
Appalachian Range are the oldest chain of mountains in North America and the second largest mountain system on the continent -- only the Rockies are larger. The range stretches for 3,500 kilometres from Alabama to Newfoundland.
In New Brunswick, the Appalachians cover the northwest of the province. They are most clearly visible in the region covered by Route 17 between Saint-Leonard and Campbellton. The lovely Restigouche runs through the Appalachians and is the largest of a network of rivers and streams. Mount Carleton and Sugarloaf Mountain are the most well-known and most visited of New Brunswick's Appalachians.
