EXPLORE OUR TRAILS BY THEIR REGION

WRITTEN BY STANLEY ALOZIE

Did You Know?

Our public trails span an impressive 63 km across 26 preserves across New Brunswick. That’s a lot of ground to explore year-round, with something for everyone, from gentle walks to more challenging hikes.

Our nature preserves are open in every season, offering opportunities to connect with nature no matter the time of year. From fresh spring growth and summer greenery to autumn colours and quiet winter landscapes, each trail offers a unique experience shaped by the changing seasons. Exploring our trails is a meaningful way to slow down, reconnect with the land, and experience the natural beauty that these protected spaces help preserve for generations to come.

To help you start exploring, we’ve divided our full list of public trails by region below — click each drop down to find out what trails and preserves are in your area!

Hiking Tips

  • Dress Smart: Always make sure you wear weather-appropriate clothing (we recommend long sleeves, long pants and socks for ideal tick prevention). In the winter, layer up to stay warm and dry, starting with a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating middle layer, and a weatherproof outer layer.

  • Footwear Matters: Hiking shoes and comfortable footwear are a must, as the terrain at our nature preserves can be steep and uneven. In the winter, choose sturdy, insulated boots with good grip to tackle snowy or icy trails confidently.

  • Stay Hydrated: Pack water and energizing snacks – hydration is always important!

  • Gear Up: In the winter, trekking poles or snowshoes can help with stability and make snowy trails easier to navigate.

  • Plan Ahead: Always map out your route, and keep an eye on daylight hours to ensure a safe return.

  • Leave No Trace: When visiting any protected natural area, practice “leave no trace” by staying on marked trails and respecting boundaries, leaving rocks, plants, and natural features just as you found them, respecting wildlife and their habitat, being considerate of others, and disposing of waste properly.

Grab your gear, gather your friends or family, and immerse yourself in our province’s natural beauty.
