Saint John

Settled by Loyalists in the 1780s, Saint John has a rich history to share.

ere the Bay of Fundy meets the St. John River at the worldfamous Reversing Falls Rapids, and the port city looks with pride over both these bodies of water. Boaters entering from the bay will find all the information they need to navigate the falls safely and will be well rewarded for their decision to explore the beautiful Lower River Passage.

Visitors can also enjoy day adventures on the water.

Kennebecasis Bay & River

Derived from the Mi’kmaq for “little long bay place,” the Kennebecasis is an arm of the St. John River in its lower stretch with a rich yachting tradition, due to its deep water, fine breezes and beautiful scenery.

The shallow upper Kennebecasis offers opportunities for small boat, canoe and kayak exploration of the river, tributaries and wetlands. Although runs are reduced from historical levels, the Kennebecasis remains an Atlantic salmon bearing stream, thanks to continuing conservation and restoration activities.

Grand Bay to Evandale

This is the section of the waterway that gave rise to the St. John River’s early nickname, “Rhine of North America.”

It includes Grand Bay, where the waters of the St. John and Kennebecasis rivers come together to flow out through the Reversing Falls.

Prominent features are the sandbars of Brandy Point and Oak Point and the confluence of the Nerepis at the base of the Long Reach, leading to the hidden beauty of Belleisle Bay.

Here are the open stretches of river (“reaches” to sailors), filled with sparkling light and uninterrupted views of horizons bounded by wooded hills.

In Belleisle Bay, secluded coves are tucked into the shoreline like pirates’ treasures.

Evandale to Gagetown
(including Washademoak Lake)

The stretch from Evandale to the Jemseg River is a spectacular river run.

The ghosts of the great steamboats whistle here still, faintly echoing around the public access wharves that were their ports of call.

In summer, the seasonally flooded islands serve as rich pastures for cattle. Washademoak Lake remains the traditional boating and summering place that it has been for generations along the river.

Grand Lake

Spend a grand day on Grand Lake!

The narrow channel of the Jemseg River bursts open into the largest freshwater lake in the Maritime Provinces.

Destinations and communities around the entire perimeter of the  lake are an invitation to slow down, and spend some time with the people and stories of this area.

For canoeists and naturalists, the spectacular wetlands of the Grand Lake Meadows are a particular treat.

Gagetown to Fredericton

This area is steeped in history.

In its backwaters, listen to the dip of the paddle of the birch bark canoe that dominated travel here for over 10,000 years.

Weave between the islands and drift beside centuries-old seasonal pastures where cattle have grazed for over 300 years.

Thee Loyalist village of Gagetown is now one of the province’s artisan centres. The town of Oromocto’s full marina and riverside park are an easy walk to restaurants and shopping.

Further upstream, the capital city of Fredericton offers museums, shopping and fine dining.
