ニューブランズウィックでののおすすめグラベルライド

A long, mostly level multi-use route that traces the quiet corridor of the Nashwaak River on Fredericton’s north side. The compacted-gravel surface makes it easy to walk, run, or cycle, and the trail moves between shaded woodland, open stretches, and short riverside clearings. Views of the Nashwaak appear steadily along the way, especially near bridge crossings and wider bends in the river. The trail takes its name from the Nashwaak River itself, derived from the Wolastoqey (Maliseet) word Nekawäk—often interpreted as “slow current” or “still water,” a fitting description of the calm, steady flow that defines this part of the valley.

A riverfront green space along the Saint John River, offering open views across the water toward downtown Fredericton. The park features a wide, level pathway suitable for walking, running, and cycling, with plenty of lawn area and benches along the shoreline.

Major Kollock Creek Trail is a forest singletrack linking the Petit-Larg campsite area with the Major Kollock Creek parking lot. The route follows mixed woodland with short rises and boardwalk crossings over wetter sections near the creek. It’s suitable for both hiking and mountain biking, with mostly narrow trail tread and a few roots in places. Expect a quiet forest setting, occasional views of the creek, and links to wider Kouchibouguac trail networks. Watch out for bikers along the singletrack sections, especially where visibility is lower.

Kouchibouguac’s beach sits on a barrier island reached by designated access paths. The shoreline is long and open, with firm sand and wide tidal zones. It’s suitable for walking and running, and in calm weather you’ll see uninterrupted views along the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The dunes and protected piping plover habitat nearby are signed, so stay on marked paths when connecting the beach to your route.

An elevated viewpoint overlooking the forest, wetlands, and barrier-island system that defines Kouchibouguac National Park. The view highlights how the park shifts from inland woods to saltmarsh, lagoons, and the long sandspit that shelters the coast. A useful stop for orienting yourself, as a large portion of the park’s protected landscapes can be seen in one place.

The North Riverfront Trail is an 8-kilometer, multi-use trail that takes users along the Saint John River from the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge to Carleton Park.

A large city park with a network of wide, well-maintained trails that range from paved paths to smooth gravel winding through diverse forest. It’s a great place to visit in any season, offering beautiful views of the lakes and trees. Perfect for a shaded walk or bike ride on a warm day, with plenty of recreation options including picnic areas, a sandy beach, playgrounds, and a splash park to cool off before heading home.

The Petitcodiac River is famous for its powerful tidal bore, a wave that travels upstream as the Bay of Fundy’s massive tides push into the river. Walking along its banks, you can see the ever-changing landscape of mudflats and clay cliffs, where the water’s color shifts with the movement of the tide. Along the Trans Canada Trail, you can take a side path leading to the bridge across the river, which offers even better views of the area.
