Hi Friends! A friend and I paddled Kennedy Lake back in May. Some crappy weather aside the trip was great -- the portage trails were pretty well marked and relatively easy hiking. The road in was a little dicey, so a truck or something with a bit of ground clearance wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. There is only one campsite at the north end of Kennedy Lake -- see map -- and it was occupied so we had to make due with a sloped site at the mouth of Lake Brook. It was nice to do a lake trip at home here in NB and not have to worry about water levels...etc. I would definitely consider adding this one to your repertoire -- I definitely plan on going back/further. If you do it later in the summer/fall, I'd be interested in hearing what it's like. The expanded trip report and accompanying map is available at the following URL: maritimeoutofdoors.wordpress.com/2015/07/19/kennedy-lakes/Cheers!! -Grant.

Overdue but many thanks for an excellent trip report. I was posted last summer to Gagetown and am pining for a canoe trip. Kennedy Lakes looks like fun, thanks for the clear complete trip report.

Thanks Capt. I highly recommend checking the area out, we had a great time -- despite our encounters with a motor boat!
From what I've heard the portage trail is being fixed up, so it might be improved now. Although, the only really muddy part was right at the tail end of the first portage.

Thanks for posting the map! Looking for the easiest way into Billings lake this time of year, have a chance to go in on the camp that's there. Hard to get to this time of year, not so bad by sled I hear. Never been there Stumbled upon this post after I was into the camp on Louis lake over the winter. Last post mentions walking trails between Burk, Kennedy, Melville, Billings, Berton & Nealis lakes. Would love to find a map! newbrunswickfishing.com/forums/index.php/topic/1619-kennedy-lakes-protected-area-renous/
