Tomlinson Lake Hike to Freedom Trail

The Tomlinson Lake Hike to Freedom was North America’s northernmost route of the Underground Railroad. The 3-km (1.8-mi.) trail follows the footsteps of the many Black families who immigrated from Maine to New Brunswick from 1850 to 1865. When walking the trail you will find interpretive storyboards, location signs of Black history relevance, a squatters cabin and a replica of a Black Loyalist pithouse. Every year on the first weekend of October a free event takes place to remember this history.
