River Valley Scenic Drive | New Brunswick / Nouveau Brunswick Canada

New Brunswick’s Experience Collection offers endless possibilities along the River Valley Scenic Drive. Gain a greater appreciation for the wonderful world of plants as you learn from a professional herbalist. Share a unique dining experience in a 1930 railcar as you savour local delicacies. Challenge your family to zip line through forest and let the kids have fun being a junior ranger for the day. Experience New Brunswick your way.

Follow the mighty St. John River for over 500 km (310 mi.) as it wanders through a valley peopled with descendants of Loyalists, Scots and French settlers. From Edmundston in the north, to the town of Sussex in the south, it's a beautiful drive that takes you through rich farmland and glorious panoramas.

Camping aficionados will want to make tracks for the wonders of de la République Provincial Park or Mactaquac Provincial Park. Then, there's a lure of francophone-flavoured festivals in the city of Edmundston, the historic architecture of the port city of Saint John and the cultural charm of the capital city of Fredericton. Decisions, decisions!

There's much to see and do here that you can't see or do anywhere else. Longest Covered Bridge in the World? Got it! The largest falls in the Maritimes with its towering gorge? Ditto. Internationally renowned Kings Landing Historical Settlement? Right here! River Valley Attractions and Festivals. Yes and yes!

Whether you like to slip into a sleeping bag at the end of the day or something a little more comfortable, the River Valley Scenic Drive is up to the task. Choose from hotels visited by royalty to riverfront bed & breakfasts. 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!
