This family cemetery, overlooking the lake and peacefully set back from the path, preserves the memory of Erasmus Barnsley Price Prichard, Wales, who died between 1880 and 1890. His wife and children rest beside him. The site is particularly beautiful and peaceful in autumn!

Prichard Lake, surrounded by a vast forest, is accessible via a trail that circles the lake. A picnic area is located at its western end, while a beach occupies the eastern side. This walk around the lake offers different vistas in each season, but autumn remains one of the most beautiful.

Rockwood Park is one of the largest urban parks in Canada and a UNESCO Stonehammer Geopark. Explore this park and find Precambrian rock formations, forests, hills, and a chain of lakes. There is a combined total of 50 kilometers of multi-use trails, but if you want to get on the water, go for a paddle on Lily Lake or Fisher Lakes. This park is just as popular in winter for ice skating and snowshoeing. The park also has campgrounds, a golf course, a zoo, a beach area, and lookouts with great views over Saint John.

The Mackay Skyway is a trail that brings hikers and mountain bikers above the treetops of one of Canada’s oldest urban parks. Look down into rock formations, wetlands, and Acadian forest, all while being connected to nearby trails, making it an easy add-on to a longer hike or a quick jaunt up to a beautiful viewpoint. The grades are smooth on the ascent and descent, so it is excellent for families, photographers, and anyone looking for a pretty view.

Whitetail Trail winds through the Acadian forest of spruce, birch, maple, and dense undergrowth. If there has been a lot of rain, consider packing watershoes as stream crossings can become tricky in high water. The trail can become muddy or slippery after rain, so boots with good traction are essential on wet days. Both hikers and mountain bikers are welcome on Whitetail Trail, and the route links up to trails like the Coastal Trail and Tippen Lot Trail to create a longer loop.

Easily accessible from the parking area on Sandy Point Road, this lake has a trail that completely encircles it. It's close enough to the city to be convenient, yet you can still feel like you're out in nature due to the dense woodlands that surround the lake.

Located within Rockwood Park, this lake is accessible via a number of trails. Its location and woodland setting give you a sense of the natural despite being in the city of Saint John.

Carnage Trail is a technical singletrack in Rockwood Park’s mountain-bike network, winding through tight forest with roots, rocks, and short punchy climbs typical of the park’s glacial terrain. The trail is narrow with uneven footing, making it better suited for experienced riders or hikers comfortable on rough ground. It links directly with other singletrack routes in the area, and its mix of twists, small drops, and exposed rock sections give it a more challenging feel than the park’s easier multi-use paths. Carnage works well as part of a longer loop for anyone looking for a more rugged section of Rockwood’s trail system.
