Our Roots

A multifaceted cultural fabric.

Hartland Longest Covered Bridge

Covered Bridges

Cross over a century of time Get ready to be whisked away to a simpler time—New Brunswick’s covered bridges are living records of times past. A covered bridge is a timber-truss bridge with a roof and siding. These coverings extend the bridge’s lifespan by shielding it from the worst the Canadian winter can throw at it, and they were once an integral part of life in New Brunswick communities. You can still find these structures in most areas of the province – nearly 60 of them – but Kings County, in the Sussex area, is the Covered Bridge Capital of Atlantic Canada.
Swallowtail Lighthouse

Lighthouses

Follow the coastline (one lighthouse at a time). Nothing defines New Brunswick’s coastline more than the lighthouses that still stand tall as sentinels of the sea. Getting close to them is feeling close to the seafaring history that shaped this place. The lower St. John River has a unique inland system of lighthouses that was designed to safely guide the old paddlewheeler steamers along the river in days gone by. The coastal lighthouses were known as “sea lights,” while the lighthouses on New Brunswick’s inland shorelines were called “beacon lights”.
Côte magnétique, Moncton

Magnetic Hill

Do you trust your own perception? Cars simply don’t roll uphill. It's impossible, right? Well, drive to the bottom of this world-famous hill, shift into neutral, and be prepared to be amazed. Your car will roll uphill in total defiance of natural law, even as your brain is telling you it's simply not possible. Is it magnetic, an illusion, or a gravitational mystery? Stories about Magnetic Hill have been around since the early 1800s, and this wondrous place has been puzzling visitors for decades.
Mount Carleton Jules My New Brunswick

Mountains

Find yourself above the fray of modern life. When you escape to New Brunswick’s Appalachian Mountains, you connect more deeply with your own true spirit. But you also discover an intensely meaningful separation. Here, 400-million-year-old mountains invite you to embrace vertical distance from hectic everyday life. The Appalachian Mountain Range—a chain of ancient, eroded mountains that have created river valleys and low, gently rolling hills—is the most mountainous region in New Brunswick. Breathe deeply as you journey along clean waterways and through magnificent woods.

Restigouche River

Rivers

Go with the flow—or fight the current. Every river has two sides. Down current and up. And both are worth exploring—it just depends on the kind of mood you're in. Go ahead and amble lazily along with the flow of the water. Take it slow and take it all in. Or, be bold, and challenge yourself to an upriver, whitewater fight. No matter what, like a river cuts through the earth and finds its way through the landscape, it has a way of getting under your skin, and finding its way into your very soul.
Tidal Bore

Tidal Bore

The bore is anything but. Rivers flow in one direction. Right? Not always. Sometimes nature throws us a curveball. And when we witness one, it reminds us—in the most palpable way—that we aren't always in control. Though we are all a part of nature, we are also at its mercy. And that is a powerful realization. Case in point: the tidal bore.

Family Fun

New Brunswick was made for family fun.We all know how it is—the hectic schedule of everyday life makes family less about emotional connection, and more about getting through it all. Where the kids need to be driven; what activity each kid has when; and who made their lunch? Opportunities to connect—to truly enjoy each other's company—are few and far between. It usually takes getting away to get closer again. And New Brunswick makes reconnecting not only a given, but so much fun!
