Description

Added by Do Gaudet

Downtown Moncton, Centennial Park offers a beautiful cross country ski trail open all winter, day and night.

Centennial Park in Moncton offers great winter activities. You can skate, slide, snowshoe, bike, and ski 5 minutes away from Main street. To ski in Centennial Park, you can park in the main parking lot by the playground, closer to the ice rink and the hiking trails, but we suggest you leave your car by the Moncton Coliseum on Millennium Blvd if you prefer direct access to the trails.

The trails are groomed, two tracks and well maintained for both classic cross-country and skate ski. One is also open at night as it is well lit every hundred feet.

The yellow loop is about 5 km long but some side trails can vary your route if you decide to go for a longer ride. The trail crosses a frozen brook and features a few small hills. It is great for skiers with very little experience as well as for skiers who are looking for a quick workout after work.

Snowshoe through White Rock Recreational Area

Sail in the Bay of Shediac, New Brunswick

It's not a secret anymore, the town of Shediac in New Brunswick is home to the warmest salt waters north of the Carolinas. The Northumberland Strait passes between Prince Edward Island and the southeastern coast of New Brunswick, bringing its warm current to heat up the beach. From June to September, the water is calm and the wind comes around softly, making the Strait and the Bay of Shediac a ...

Summit Hayward Pinnacle

Crossing the Riverview bridge from Moncton, take a right onto Coverdale Rd and follow that road until you reach Rte 885, (or as we like to say: at the second church - about a 15 minute drive). Take a hard left and follow Rte 885 for about 25 minutes. Turn left on Prosser Brook Rd for about 5.3 km, then turn right onto Hayward Rd. You will see the trail entrance in about 800m. Park by the side a...

Explore the Hopewell Rocks

Hopewell Rocks (otherwise known as the flowerpot rocks) are in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. Not only does the Bay of Fundy boast the highest tides in the world, but the 40-70 ft rock formations formed by the tide are incredibly unique. At low tide, you can walk on the sea floor that is four stories under water at high tide. High tide has its own benefits because you can kayak around the roc...

Kakak around Cocagne Island

No official roads will bring you to Cocagne Island. To reach the shore, we suggest you dock your (own) kayak or canoe at Cocagne's Cormierville wharf situated about one mile from the island. First, head south toward Cocagne Island. Before leaving, check the tides to establish which route to take to get to the island from the wharf. We suggest you go around the island clockwise, keeping the isla...

Water-Hike to Gordon Falls

Gordon Falls is one of the best waterfalls in New Brunswick. It is situated 45 minutes out of Moncton, is easily accessible from the road, and is absolutely worth the drive whenever you wish to cool down on a hot summer day. While it's possible to reach the waterfall right out of your car and hang out by the river, we suggest you park a little further down the road and enjoy the hike into the c...
