アロストーク郡のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A large multi-use forest trail system on the edge of Edmundston with more than 60 km of singletrack and connector routes. Although the network is designed with mountain biking in mind, hikers use it regularly thanks to its well-built paths, clear junction signage, and varied terrain. Expect packed-earth tread with roots, a few short climbs, and occasional boardwalks in wetter sections. Routes range from easier rolling trails to more technical, narrow segments in the higher forest. Main access points include Rue Nadeau, Chemin Canada Road, and the Mont Farlagne outdoor centre, all with posted trail maps to help plan your loop.

The Prospector’s Trail Network near Edmundston is a flexible multi-kilometre forest trail system weaving through mixed hardwood and softwood forest, with exposed rock ledges, viewpoints and moderate terrain. With mostly level to rolling paths and occasional climbs, it suits walkers, runners and snow-shoers alike.

Located off Rue de la Source, this elevated lookout sits just beyond the roadside water tank. From here, a short 200-metre walk leads to a fenced cliff edge with wide views over mixed forest, low hills, and a winding service road below. The standing area is uneven and exposed near the edge but clearly defined by wooden posts and rope barriers.

Just past Center la Rochelle towards the St John River, there are a few viewpoints overlooking Grand Falls Gorge. The Center La Rochelle is a recreation and community center that hosts skating and community events.

Grand Falls Gorge Campground is a popular riverside campground right next to Grand Falls Gorge along the St John River. The campground is open May through October and has 90 sites with bathrooms, hot showers, picnic tables, and fire pits at each site, laundry and a dumping station, along with a small playground, cabins, and wifi.

This viewing platform over the St John River is accessed by two sets of stairs leading down to the wooden platform, where, upstream, you can see the dam, and, downstream, you can see the Boulevard Broadway Bridge.

Mount Chase is a 2,414-foot peak to the east of Upper Shin Pond. The upper part of the trail is tough to run do to being so steep and rocky, but the views make the trek worthwhile. There are a lot of dirt roads at the base of the mountain that are great for running, too.

From 736 meters (2,414 feet) above sea level, the Mount Chase offers breathtaking views of nearby Mount Katahdin and other sorrounding mountains.
