Hello!
I've been in NB for a few years and done some paddling but i've never really felt like i've done anything in the woods. Most have been day runs ..etc. I found this website while looking for information on canoeing in NB. I pretty much have no idea where anything is or how to get there! Thanks for this website! Anyone provide me with information on where to get some useful canoeing maps for this province?

ALSO, more importantly!! I'm looking for friends to paddle with!! I'm not the best paddler, but i'm certainly not the worst!

Service New Brunswick used to sell a handful of "canoe" maps for the 4 or 5 major canoeing rivers in the province. Many of us on have them but like me, most have purchased them a few years back. I would assume they are still available but not positive on that.

Hello,
Just to close this out, service new brunswick still sells river maps for the Tobique, SW Miramichi, and the Nepisiguit rivers. They also sell a more updated map of the cheputnicook lakes (Spednic/Palfry, East Grand, North Lake...etc) and St. Croix river. Each map is around $9.
I'm now the proud owner of all 4, but I expect that because of where the water levels are they won't do me much good until next year! What a bummer!
Happy paddling
-Grant.

Rain forecast for the later part of the week, don't despair. There was lots of water last summer.

The St.Croix is dam controlled and can be paddled most of the summer, a few of us are planning an overnight trip next weekend. Water levels can be checked here: waterdata.usgs.gov/me/nwis/current/?type=flowAnything over 450 is runnable, scratchy at that rate but still enough to get it done. |

Thanks! Appreciate the insight! Hopefully we get a little (non-weekend) rain.

The old 1:50,000 maps are available at the forestry center across from regent mall I think. They're the best thing going when used in tandem with google earth I think.
