This page is centred on Riley Brook, about 30 km north of Plaster Rock. The Blue Mountain protected natural area (2,347 ha), with a conserved area of 1,009 ha beside it, is 8 to 10 km away, and Haley Brook and Two Brooks are 5 to 11 km out. The small Nictau protected areas are about 10 km upriver, the Blue Mountain Bend on the Tobique River conserved area (1,071 ha) 18 km, and Burgess Settlement 23 km. Brooks are everywhere: Riley Brook, Bear Brook and Dead Brook are within 2 km and Rocky Brook 5 km, and our map shows 148 waters within 25 km. There is no campground on our map within 25 km; the Headwaters and Armstrong Brook campsites in Mount Carleton Provincial Park are 34 to 37 km away. This page rounds up the region's public land, fishing spots and campgrounds.
