At 90% coverage, New Brunswick is North America's most heavily forested Province or State and it also is criss-crossed by lakes, rivers and streams - not to mention its coastal areas! As a result, you can very quickly escape to wilderness whenever you feel like it! In my younger days, I used to take the odd weekend canoe trip in the Magaguadavic Lake (pronounced Mack-a-davic) area, about a 40-minute drive away near Harvey. This page is a history of one of these excursions that I took 20 years ago with one of my buddies! I will tell you that not much has changed in the intervening years - New Brunswick is still Off the Beaten Track and there are plenty of wide open spaces still out there! This photo shows a sandy beach on Little Magaguadavic Lake where we landed to stretch our legs and have a cold Moosehead beer! To the left is 'The Thoroughfare' passage back into Magaguadavic Lake. |

I love camping in the North Woods. When I was a kid, we camped in similar places in Maine, and also heard the eerie calls of the loon. Gotta love the name Gut-A-Moose Lodge! | goingsolo Sun Jun 10, 2007 19:19 UTC
Sounds like a great wilderness experience! I'd love a small island to myself. :) | MalenaN Sun Jun 3, 2007 11:21 UTC
What a beautiful and tranquil place for canoeing! Interesting to hear what the ice makes with granite bolders. | richiecdisc Wed May 30, 2007 01:47 UTC
Fried onions and pork chops? Man, I guess THAT did taste good. Now, all we get is dried food to safe weight! lol Great page, I wish I could have washed it down with an ice cold Moosehead! |
