Miramichi River

Reviewed By Rj L - Moncton, Canada

We were in Miramichi this weekend to see the Tall Ships come in. The five boats came in on the beautiful Miramichi River which runs through the city. The scenery at the river is gorgeous, particularly at the bride and wharf area. This river is famous as a salmon river and is also simply gorgeous as a river.

Ritchie Wharf

Reviewed By vaneelynn

We come to Miramichi every few years to visit family and this is one of our favourite places to come. This time we had our four year old and two year old with us and we actually boated down the river and docked for the evening at Ritchie Wharf. The kids had a blast in the sprayers and on the playground. The bigger playground was still under construction but looks like it will be great when finished.

St. Michael's Basilica

Reviewed By 11542 - glen cove

What an impressive sight from a distance, and what an even more impressive presence up close. This is the largest Gothic church east of Montreal, in very good condition, and obviously well taken care of by an active parish. The original stained glass windows and the windows in the side chapel that were salvaged from another church are remarkable.

French Fort Cove

Reviewed By Natasha B

One of our favorite places to stop when in the area or when driving through as a pit stop. We went Sunday so my husband could do some geocaching and my daughter and I played at the park and walked around a bit. We love going there.

Beaubears Island Interpretive Centre

Reviewed By MichiganMadmoose - Michigan

We were there just after Labor Day. No costumed historic charactors. We did get to hear about the island on the ride over. We were givin a map of the island. But the map nor our boat ride prepared us for the hike on the island. The distances from point A to point B would of been nice. The hike to the end of the island and then back to where the boat picks you up was long for two people over 60. We are quiet hikers and did not see much wildlife.

Middle Island Irish Historical Park

Reviewed By Miramichi1976 - Miramichi, Canada

Always have great visits and though closed for the season now, The Captain's Galley is a great spot for a quick snack with unbelievable value. I often remark that they don't charge enough for certain dishes. Middle Island is of historical significance and a great family spot to visit all at once.

Historic Beaverbrook House

The Historic Beaverbrook House is the childhood home of Lord Beaverbrook, formerly known as Max Aitken. It was later used as the first public library for the town of Newcastle. It now houses a plethora of historic artifacts dating from the late 1800's to the Second World War. Only open for tours during the summer months.

Reviewed By jeanmacdonald2 - Miramichi, Canada

This was a wonderful afternoon. We were met by a great actor who represented a historical figure closely connected to Lord Beaverbrook in his early years when still in the Miramichi area, then we were greeted by a tour guide in costume who gave us some background on Beaverbrook's contribution to WWII in his position of Minister of War Production, then we were escorted to Beaverbook's WAr Office, where another actor played Lord Beaverbrook. A lovely tea with fresh scones and sweets followed, along with the actors, who stayed in character throughout. A great deal for only $12!
