I work from home sewing Hanging HUGS custom luxury hammocks and can teach you how to sew your own, or offer what I have in stock. An expedition sea kayaker and expert rock climber with more than 25 years experience, I can offer clients a unique look at our province. It's a pleasure to introduce you to my favourite spots. We also own an off-grid camping area close to Fundy Trail Provincial Park, where I have made a hiking trail to an epic location which I have been developing for rock climbing over 10 years.
From our farm you can pull a kayak on wheels to the river to be fishing in ten minutes, or roll through the forest on a fat bike enjoying a loop trail around the property. We'll include the bikes, rod and worms at no charge. You could easily fill a weekend here with outdoor activities and make memories you'll never forget.
Wake up listening to the birds in this birdwatchers paradise. There is plenty wildlife such as deer, and turtles in the pond. Whenever we say we live in Jemseg the response is always, "It's beautiful there."

Whimsical Whittaker Hobby Farm
11. Whimsical Whittaker Hobby Farm
19km from Fredericton · 1 site
After an initial dog greeting, guests will arrive at a peaceful farm setting with goats grazing and rabbits going about their business. Since our rabbit enclosure offers lots of space and choice, our Flemish Giant rabbits have adopted a more natural rhythm, being active at dawn and dusk and typically resting during the day.
Our goats, Pretzel and Shadow, are pretty chill most of the time, but Pretzel (the brown goat) can be pushy if you have food and is generally quite nosy. They are only allowed to roam when the owner is present and can otherwise stay in one of their two enclosures if guests are more comfortable.
Guests can wander the farm and take a walk through a quiet forest path that leads to a gentle stream—a blend of animals, nature, and the calming sounds of nearby water. Wade or swim in the brook if desired. You can also take the goats for a walk to the river if they are up for it.
The property is located 18 minutes from Fredericton and Oromocto. A gas station/corner store is a 5-minute drive from the property in Beaverdam.
Please note: The White family lives on the property and can sometimes be found doing regular maintenance or working on various farm projects. Two teenage, hockey-loving boys are also around and may be seen shooting pucks at times to keep their skills sharp for hockey season.

Knotty Pines Island Getaway offers a unique camping experience that’s perfect for families, couples and singles to enjoy. Located on Coburn Island, Harvey Lake, it is 2 km from where you can put your water craft on the water. This 1.5 acre property is about as secluded as you can get on this lake and can give the illusion of having the whole place to yourself.
Surrounded on all sides by water, you don’t have to worry about your pets running off or any predators lurking around. There is a bald eagle living there but I’ve never seen it land on the island. The ground cover is made up of dead evergreen needles and twigs of various sizes - there is no grass - so bring appropriate footwear. I wear sandals and get the occasional twig between the toes but not often enough to make me stop wearing them. I also recommend water shoes when swimming, as there are some sharp rocks just near the shore where we normally swim (I’ll have a path made this summer to prevent this issue). There are plenty of spaces to pitch tents and large trees for hammocks. Once you are settled, you have the lake to swim in and explore, or an island to relax on.
A map with notable spots will be provided.
There is a trail from one end of the island to the other making it easier to explore. Up in the tallest tree you will see a bald eagle’s nest which has been occupied for no less then 20 years. If you are there in the spring you can hear the eagle's chicks. Exploring the island you can expect to see an old loon’s nest, usually with the egg shells still present, and bones of various creatures that the eagle has eaten. You can also expect to see frogs, turtles, squirrels, various birds, ducks and loons. If you don’t happen to see a loon you will definitely hear them as the sun goes down. You will also hear the train which goes by a few times throughout the day.
Pets are welcome and can roam free, but please scoop their poop.
*Recommend to bring: bug spray, closed toe shoes, sunscreen, water shoes, floaties, fishing gear”
There are some videos posted here showing the island:

Super friendly family, took me to the best swim spot in a quarry! Cory caught a fish and shared it that night. They went kayaking the next day. Cory is from the area back to his grandparents and he knows how to show you around. I slept in my car up above the Orchard. Their homestead is a work in progress and I felt absolutely welcome and included.

Cory and his wonderful family were so welcoming! I had a beautiful, shady spot that offered privacy as well as access to everything with well kept trails throughout the property.
They were kind enough to include me in trips to a secret swimming hole, and bonfires with their family friends who were also visiting.
He was immediately responsive to my only concern, a lack of table, and I had dropped off one within the day.
I was busy with day trips so didn’t spend as much time exploring ‘on site’ as I would have liked, but I would certainly return to do such.
Beautiful property, and great hosts!

Amazing property! The bus is so cool and constructed with care, making great use of recycled and upcycled materials. The shore/waterfront is delightful, and I was able to do a lot of fishing. There are so many little amenities that take this place to the next level—games, firewood for sale, watercraft down at the shore, and walking paths… just to name a few! Charlotte is an excellent and conscientious host who goes the extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful experience. I would definitely go back!

Where to go
Kouchibouguac National Park
Sitting on the Acadian Coast of New Brunswick, this stunning park combines lush forest with salt-marshes that are home to thousands of birds, and sandy beaches that spill into the warm ocean. Kouchibouguac offers amazing hiking, kayaking, fishing, clam digging, and all manner of Parks Canada-provided activities (including going out in a traditional Indigenous canoe). Year-round backcountry camping is available, as are seasonal serviced campsites and oTENTiks.
Bear Island
This tiny community is a great spot for hanging out in nature and having a low-key break, with some awesome attractions and a sweet campsite that comes with its own private beach, a swimming pool, and trails. Nearby in Nackawic is the World’s Largest Axe, a cable suspension bridge, and Howland Falls.
Mactaquac Provincial Park
This heavily wooded park was built for year-round camping. Aside from hiking, fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the numerous freshwater beaches, Mactaquac features a marina, an activity center, and ziplines. In winter, Mactaquac Provincial Park offers sleigh rides, groomed ski trails, skating, fat-bike rentals, and two groomed sledding hills.
When to go
Up until June, the weather in this part of New Brunswick can be pretty changeable (and cold and wet), but summers are warm and can be pleasant right through to the end of October, when fall kicks in along the Saint John River. You can experience everything Fredericton offers year-round, but some attractions and campsites outside of the city operate only on a seasonal basis.
Know before you go
- Cell service in less-populated areas of New Brunswick can be patchy, so don't rely on your phone as your only map if going off into parks.
- French is widely spoken in Fredericton, as New Brunswick is Canada's only legally bilingual province (and all services must be offered in both English and French). If travelling north of the city toward Quebec, you’ll find the French language much more commonly spoken.
- Free camping on Crown Lands (as in owned by the government but not a designated park) is permitted for short periods in New Brunswick.
