2008/10/03 Fredericton, New Brunswick 0
It’s less than a 90-minute drive from Saint John to Fredericton, so we had a mid-morning run on Highway 7 through scenic New Brunswick. Fredericton is much smaller than Saint John, but has the feature that it’s the capital of New Brunswick.
We again arrived with enough time for lunch and some sightseeing. By the Saint John River, there’s a park with the Lighthouse Adventure Centre.
We walked around the front side, to see that the lighthouse was completely closed. On a cool fall weekday, there wouldn’t be too much demand for ice cream on the ground floor.
Looking down, we saw the south section of the Riverfront Trail beside the shore. The Saint John River curves, with a flow to southeast at this point.
The Riverfront Trail continues to the north, where we could see the Westmorland Street Bridge leading to Nashwaaksis, a neighbourhood now amalgamated with Fredericton.
