Nestled along the scenic shores of the Miramichi River – recognized as one of the world’s top salmon fishing destinations – the vibrant city of Miramichi is renowned for its dynamic heritage, exceptional outdoor recreation, and lively cultural scene.
With its prime setting along the Miramichi River, the city is a haven for nature lovers with endless opportunities for tubing, kayaking, and canoeing to hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing along scenic trails. The historic French Fort Cove Nature Park features 4 km of multi-use trails with stunning river views and is home to the Maritimes’ longest zipline, which stretches across the river and its rugged cliffs.
With a blend of Acadian, Irish, and Mi’kmaq influences, Miramichi’s extensive history is a source of pride within the city’s community. The Miramichi History Museum – founded in 1897 – houses thousands of artifacts from the region’s past, while well-preserved heritage homes like the Historic Beaverbrook House and the W.S. Loggie House & Cultural Centre allow visitors to experience firsthand what life was like in the region during the 19th century.
Miramichi is host to a wide range of festivals and events throughout the year such as the beloved Canada’s Irish Festival on the Miramichi, which has commemorated the region’s deep Irish roots for over 40 years with four days of festivities including live music and dance performances, workshops, and countless vendors offering authentic Irish cuisine. Music lovers come together for the annual Rockin’ River Fest and the New Maritime Music Festival, while the Natoaganeg First Nation Powwow celebrates the local First Nations heritage.
The picturesque Ritchie Wharf is a hub of family-friendly activity featuring a scenic boardwalk, splash pad, and marina, along with charming shops, cafés, waterfront restaurants, and lively pubs. The city’s unique placement along the river divides the city into two downtown cores, each with its own distinctive charm. Nestled on the river’s west bank, Downtown Newcastle features a blend of modern amenities and bustling locally owned businesses amongst enchanting historic architecture, while the Historic Chatham Business District – located on the river’s east bank – is home to a variety of historic landmarks along with quaint boutiques and cozy pubs.
Miramichi offers a wide range of real estate options, from elegant riverside homes and heritage properties to modern family dwellings and recreational cottages.
