Cote-a-Fabien

New Brunswick


On the northern side of Kouchibouguac River, Cote-a-Fabien is the best choice for those seeking a bit of peace and privacy. There is water and vault toilets, but no showers. Some sites are on the shore, others nestled among the trees, with a dozen walk-in sites (100m; wheelbarrows are provided for luggage) for those who want a car-free environment.

The Osprey hiking trail starts from here.
