| Only have time for one day? A half-day? GIBSON CREEK day trips are simple outings - explorations of New Brunswick’s many beautiful back-waters, marshes, and rivers. You can improve your paddle skills while experiencing nature, riverine culture and, if you are lucky, community festivals along our ancient canoe routes. |
 |
Follow the lazy tributaries of the historic St. John River or explore the smaller rivers running down to the mighty Bay of Fundy: GIBSON CREEK day trips highlight readily accessible natural areas.
