People have been carving out trails in the Southeast New Brunswick (Signuktuk) region for over 10,000 years.
From the Wolastoqey and Mi'gmaw people who originally inhabited these lands, to the earliest European settlers of the 16th Century, to the Acadian colonists of the 17th, to the vibrant and diverse cultures that makes up the Southeast New Brunswick of today, trails have been an integral mode of connection in the region - between people, communities, cultures, and nature, for generations.
Once completed, the Odyssey Southeast New Brunswick Trailways will span the entire region with a network of trails that will extend a total of 321km, creating an overland system between the Fundy and Northumberland coasts. While many of the trailways already exist, construction to complete the remaining connectors will continue until 2028.
From the Confederation Bridge to Cap Pele to Alma, Petitcodiac and Irishtown, the 13 unique regional trailways unite the communities of the Southeast and offer a diversity of terrain, breathtaking views, cultural experiences and challenges for novices up to experienced hikers.
