With two provincial parks – Sugarloaf and Mount Carleton – Restigouche County is a nature lover’s paradise, offering endless outdoor recreation. The legendary Restigouche River – one of the world’s most sought-after salmon fishing rivers – winds through the county’s rugged interior, providing world-class opportunities for fly-fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. In winter, the region transforms into a snowy playground ideal for snowmobiling, alpine and cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.

Mount Carleton Provincial Park, just a short drive from Kedgwick, boasts the highest peak in the Maritimes and is a favourite for hiking, wildlife spotting, and backcountry camping. Along the coast, beaches in Charlo and Dalhousie offer panoramic views of Chaleur Bay, while Sugarloaf Provincial Park features more than 25 km of mountainous trails offering panoramic views of the junction of Chaleur Bay, the Restigouche River, and the city of Campbellton below.

Campbellton – the county's urban center – boasts a vibrant waterfront along the Restigouche River, framed by the Appalachian Mountains, and serves as a hub for shopping, dining, and cultural festivities. The city is home to cultural landmarks like the Restigouche Gallery and the Anthony Flower House Museum, while its picturesque waterfront is home to the iconic Restigouche Sam – a 28-foot-tall steel sculpture of an Atlantic salmon, celebrating its reputation as one of North America’s best salmon fishing destinations.

The town of Dalhousie – once a proud mill town – has reinvented itself as a picturesque coastal community with a charming downtown, a marina, and easy access to nature trails and beaches. Charlo – nestled along the shores – is renowned for its expansive sandy beaches along the shores of Chaleur Bay, while Kedgwick – nestled deep in the forested heart of the Appalachians – is an idyllic setting for kayaking, hiking, cycling, and more.
