The Most Underrated Province: New Brunswick Canada
On February 13, 2023 by jmwebNew Brunswick (Canada) is the hidden gem of the Maritimes. Most people consider it a drive-through province however they couldn’t be any further from the truth as it is probably the most underrated province in Canada. New Brunswick has the beauty of Atlantic Canada all packed into a mighty one-province punch.
Nouveau/New Brunswick has everything Atlantic Canada is known for from rugged coastlines to fun cities to amazing beaches.
The West: Mountains
In Western New Brunswick you are able to indulge in the beautiful mountain scenery. Mount Carleton has some gorgeous hikes. It is also home to the highest point in the Maritimes as well as the Island of Newfoundland. Newfoundland & Labrador does have a higher point in Labrador which is along the Quebec/Labrador border. Mount Carleton does feature some gorgeous hikes.
As with most mountains, comes some absolutely gorgeous wildlife.
The East: The Cities
New Brunswick has some incredible cities. Saint John, Moncton, and Fredericton are all beautiful cities with a lot going on.
The three cities have brought in some incredible events over the years. From the Memorial Cup to the World Juniors to many concerts. Magnetic Hill in Moncton is always hosting some incredible concerts.
The South East: Island Hopping
The South East features gorgeous Islands to go Island hopping on. Grand Manan and Campobello Island are great adventurous locations. Ferry rides onto the multiple Islands are only a short distance from the cities of the East. They are a great spot to run away to for a week away.
The North & North East: Storms and Beaches
Northern and Eastern New Brunswick features gorgeous beaches however in the North, they also get the best storms. Whether it be storm chasing or playing in a ton of winter snow.
Bottom Line: New Brunswick Canada is an adventurer’s paradise.
There are a few different things you can get onto doing. From visiting every lighthouse or chasing after every covered bridge. New Brunswick has no shortage of beauty.
