Miramichi is beautiful in the fall as the autumn leaves grace the majestic Miramichi River. Whether it’s a tale of pioneers, a memory of being on the river, or just the fisherman’s story of the catch that got away, there’s something about the mighty Miramichi that keeps the conversation flowing. Fall is a wonderful time of year to Miramichi for optimal outdoor experiences and be sure to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the city’s amalgamation.
Miramichi is an Atlantic Salmon and Striped Bass fisherman’s paradise, with experienced anglers gathering into October to try their luck while surrounded by some of the most beautiful displays of fall colour to be found anywhere. And visitors can still enjoy fall season outdoor fun and comfortable accommodations at Upper Oxbow Adventures, Rodd Miramichi River, Country Haven Lodges, Storeytown Cottages, and Wilson’s Four Seasons Resort.
Boaters can create custom cruising plans, using local marinas, launch sites, and easy-to-find services to make sure the trip is safe and relaxing. Be sure to stop by the bustling waterfront Ritchie Wharf Park, with restaurants, shops, playground and more. And don’t forget to double check on days/hours of operation before setting out.
Take in a one-of-a-kind nature trail experience on Beaubear’s Island through September or do as the locals do and sample a craft brew at New Maritime Brew Company.
For an indigenous cultural experience, take a short drive west of Miramichi to Metepenagiag Heritage Park. Until October 15th its beautiful interpretation centre shares a wealth of archaeological, historical and cultural information on the Mi'gmaw people.
Visit Fletchers Farm for a fun family time this fall. Challenge yourself to their Miramichi themed scavenger hunt, explore the five acre corn maze, climb the hay bale pyramid and go for a wagon ride.
Miramichi has so many great places to stay with amazing food, and with river activities right on their doorsteps. It’s a Fall destination at its finest.
