Between Miramichi and Fredericton runs a route that tells tall tales of both fly fishing and lumberjacks. The Miramichi River is approximately 250 km (155.3 mi.) long and is divided into the Southwest Miramichi River and the Northwest Miramichi River. Its history is imbedded in stories around the river's bends, most of which are named. Known as the river of the Atlantic Salmon, many spots along the route offer fishing vantage points with nearby fishing lodges. However, only fly fishing is allowed and it is highly regulated to protect the spawning salmon.
Near Miramichi Bay is the village of Tabusintac with its neighboring islands and sandy beaches. The City of Miramichi is a gateway city of about 22,000 people, and is called a City of Festivals including being host to the oldest folk song festival in North America. The river enters forested inland and soon Blackville Village appears, where forestry and sport salmon fishing have ruled for years. A footbridge at Priceville allows visitors to walk across the Southwest Miramichi River from a few feet overhead. Near the center of New Brunswick is Doaktown, offering many opportunities for outdoor activities. And the oldest village in Canada, Metepenagiag, offers an up close visit with Mi'kmaq natives and their in depth knowledge of the river and forest.
