Route 134 runs as the Restigouche loop from Charlo through Dalhousie to Campbellton. In Restigouche County, regional history, waterfront trails, and opportunities for nature and winter activities come together. You can decide which ones will shape your trip based on your interests and the season.
Regional History and Local Products in Dalhousie
In Dalhousie, the Restigouche Regional Museum preserves and displays artifacts, memorabilia, and historical records about the region’s history, culture, and genealogy. These topics offer different ways to explore Restigouche: alongside its history, cultural traditions and genealogical records are also part of the museum’s profile.
The Restigouche Farmers Market offers a different perspective on the area. You’ll find locally produced food and products, fresh produce, and handmade goods there. If you’re planning a visit to the market, it’s worth checking the current offerings and arrangements, as both can change.
Walking and Mountain Biking in Campbellton
In Campbellton, the Restigouche Esplanade/Waterfront combines a walking path with themed exhibits. Here, getting active and discovering new things go hand in hand, so the path is more than just a link between two points: the exhibits are part of the experience along the way.
Sugarloaf Bike Park is a mountain biking destination with lift service and trails for riders of all skill levels. Cycling enthusiasts can enjoy a different way to get around than on the walking path along the Esplanade. The two options offer different experiences in Campbellton.
Forests, Rivers and Views
Sugarloaf Provincial Park in Atholville has hiking and cycling trails, lakes, and views of the surrounding mountains. You can explore the landscape on trails and around waterways, while taking in mountain views. Across the region, Restigouche also offers forest trails, canoe trips along winding rivers, and sunny beaches.
These options offer different experiences: forest trails focus on getting around on foot, while a canoe trip draws your attention to the rivers. Beaches add another place to relax to the landscape. The variety of experiences is a good starting point when choosing nature activities for your trip.
Winter Trails and Activities
Mount Carleton Provincial Park is in the heart of Restigouche and offers year-round camping. The park has groomed trails for snowmobiling and snowshoeing. Since grooming and winter access can vary by season, check current park conditions before you travel.
Winter activities are also on offer at Sugarloaf Park, including downhill skiing, fat biking, outdoor skating, and tubing and sledding. Seasonal availability may change. The Les Montagnards Outdoor Club holds year-round activities there, such as races, treasure hunts, and fundraising events; individual activities may vary by season.
Snowmobile trails are another highlight in Restigouche. The Restigouche Timber Trail Snowmobile Club maintains and promotes more than 130 kilometres of snowmobile trails in the region. Restigouche also has more than 675 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails, and three active snowmobile clubs operate there. Trail maintenance and conditions may change; check current conditions before setting out.
