The upper Restigouche is one of New Brunswick's most remote river valleys, known for Atlantic salmon and multi-day canoe trips through unbroken forest. This page is centred on Kedgwick, where the Kedgwick River, about 11 km away, runs on to join the Restigouche. The public land here is a large cluster of protected natural areas: Stillwater Brook (1,113 ha) is about 10 km away, Jardine Brook (8,299 ha), Downs Gulch and Blueberry Brook about 15 km, and Big Cedar Brook and Five Mile Brook 19 to 20 km. The Restigouche Wilderness Waterway conserved area, 2,758 ha along the river, starts about 13 km out. Lac à Blanchette and Lac à Morin are within 4 km of Kedgwick, and our map shows 68 lakes, rivers and brooks within 25 km. There is no campground on our map within 25 km; the nearest are in Mount Carleton, about 40 km southeast. This page rounds up the region's public land, fishing spots and campgrounds.
