This place will reel you in HOOK, LINE AND SINKER (Really!)
With roots in Mi'kmaq, Irish, Acadian and Scottish cultures, you'll find a lively mix of personalities on the Miramichi River Route. Famous for rollicking parties (video provided by Paul McGraw) and storytelling prowess, the people who live here will welcome you into their lives from the first "hello." They say that the river is such a huge part of the identity of a Miramichier that one could find themselves on the North Branch of the Little Southwest Branch of the Northwest Branch of the Main Miramichi and know exactly where they were!
Many inhabitants have ancestors who worked in forestry, shipbuilding, fishing and tourism. They can reel off our legendary ghost stories and fish-that-got-away tales with great zeal. (Not to mention fascinating tidbits about some of our very well-known visitors, from royalty to the rich and famous, from Hollywood icons to sporting heroes.)
