Why Go?In the early 20th century, New Brunswick was a Very Big Deal. Millionaire businesspeople, Major League Baseball players and US presidents journeyed here to fish salmon from its silver rivers and camp at rustic lodges in its deep primeval forests. But over the decades, New Brunswick slipped back into relative obscurity. Today, some joke that it’s the ‘drive-through province,’ as vacationers tend to hot-foot it to its better-known neighbors Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Nova Scotia.

But the unspoiled wilderness is still here. There are rivers for fly-fishing, coastal islands for kayaking, snowy moun-tains for skiing and quaint Acadian villages for exploring. So do yourself a favor, and don’t just drive through. Prince Ed-ward Island will still be there when you’re done, we promise.
