Miramichi River Route | New Brunswick / Nouveau Brunswick Canada

New Brunswick’s Experience Collection offers endless possibilities along the  Miramichi River Route. Fish one of the world’s most renowned salmon rivers, canoe at your own pace, or tube down a river while geo-caching. Smell the scent of a cooking fire as Aboriginal stories unfold and tap your toes to the music of a down-home kitchen party. Experience New Brunswick your way.

The Miramichi River Route is a mere 180 km (110 mi.) along Route 8, but the lure of this river steeped in history and the wonderful people who live by it could keep you enchanted for days.

The river itself is a Natural Wonder that draws visitors from around the world (and your ultimate destination!). Explore all the extraordinary moments it has to offer from the cities of Miramichi and Fredericton at either end. Ritchie Wharf Park is an excellent place to start.

Wade into one of the most extraordinary salmon-fishing rivers on the planet. Learn more at the Atlantic Salmon Museum. Celebrate our shipbuilding traditions at Ritchie Wharf Park. Visit the "Village of 30 Centuries" at Metepenagiag Heritage Park.

Whether you prefer to surround yourself with comfort at a first-class hotel or nature at a riverside campsite, you'll feel right at home here thanks to your very accommodating hosts (they've catered to everyone from rock stars to royalty). Find a hotel, motel, B&B, inn or cottage that’s perfect for weekend trips or long stays.

There’s so much to do . . . how to fit it all in? We’ve made the planning easy for you with Sample Trip Plans. Take all of our suggestions, or pick and choose the activities that appeal the most to you!
