The Saint John River—known traditionally as Wolastoq, meaning “the beautiful and bountiful river”—is the defining waterway of western New Brunswick. Flowing through Fredericton, it creates a broad, calm corridor bordered by open floodplain, forest, and riverside neighbourhoods. Along the north and south riverfront paths, you’ll find long, level stretches ideal for walking, running, and cycling, with clear views across to the opposite bank.
