Le Prospecteur hiking trails – Edmundston

A wonderful network of hiking trails to explore on foot throughout the year or by snowshoe in the winter. More than 10 km (6.2 mi.) of trails will take you through breathtaking scenery in the steps of Madawaska County's best known gold-digger, Mr. Robert (Bob) Leboeuf! For many years, this colourful Edmundston personality searched for gold on the mountain's western slope, in what is now known as "Bob Leboeuf's Mine." This funny and determined historical character is almost a legend in these parts. Follow his steps… who knows what you'll find!
