Ashburn Lake is surrounded by forest, with a loop trail that circles the shoreline. The area is managed by the YMCA of Southwestern New Brunswick, which allows public access when camp programs aren’t in session. During open times, visitors can use the YMCA’s parking lot and restrooms. The center also offers various recreational activities, including kayaking and canoe, though most programs are focused on youth.
