Carletonのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

展望台を過ぎると、ボグライントレイルはさらに600メートル、遊歩道に沿って続きます。いくつかのベンチと標識付きの展望ポイントがあり、トレイルは残りのボグを見渡せるベンチのある展望デッキで終わります。

Bog Trailを約400メートル進むと、この高さ6メートルの展望タワーに着きます。タワーの頂上へは螺旋階段でアクセスでき、湿原の素晴らしい眺めといくつかの案内板があります。

駐車場から周回した後、サインと木立の中を始まる舗装された砂利道の入り口がはっきりと示されたボッグ・トレイルヘッドが見つかります。徐々に、トレイルはボッグの景色と生息地自体に関する情報標識のある遊歩道に開けていきます。

The Black River is a slow-moving, tannin-rich river bordered by forest, wetlands, and pockets of salt marshes. The river is home to ducks, herons, and other birds that feed along its edges, especially during migration seasons. Its banks are peaceful and shaded, giving visitors a relaxing body of water to take in and enjoy.

The Claire-Fontaine Trail is a short loop that takes hikers through forest and wetlands, following Rankin Brook, the Black River, and a nearby lagoon. In the fall, the aspen and other mature trees change color, and there is more bird activity. Part of the loop traces the old community of Claire-Fontaine, built by Europeans in the late 1700s.

Rankin Brook is a small, peaceful river that offers great viewpoints along the southern section of the Claire-Fontaine Trail. It flows through the forest, creating pockets of cool, damp mini-climates along the loop. Rankin Brook eventually flows into the nearby Black River and lagoon system, so its water levels can fluctuate with weather.

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.
