Höjdpunkter
The Petitcodiac River has shaped Moncton for at least 2,000 years, and its story is far stranger than most visitors expect. On this walking tour, you'll follow the river from Indigenous portage routes and Acadian rebellion to shipbuilding boomtowns and a causeway that nearly killed the river entirely. Starting at Bore Park, you'll learn how the Bay of Fundy pushes 100 billion tons of water twice daily into the Petitcodiac, sending a visible wave rolling upstream at 13 kilometres an hour. From there, walk riverbanks where Acadian rebels ambushed British soldiers, hear how Mi'kmaq travellers rode the tidal bore in birch bark canoes, and meet Molly Kool North America's first licensed female sea captain, who fought prejudice occasionally by brandishing a lumber log as a weapon. The tour ends back at Bore Park, where the last stand of the tragic Acadian rebel leader Beausoleil comes to a fitting but melancholy end.

Rutt
Pause at this plaque in Bore Park honoring Joseph Broussard, known as Beausoleil, leader of the Acadian resistance against British rule. Reflect on the tragic but fitting end to his story, the tour's closing chapter, at the very waterfront he once navigated.
Cross Hall's Creek where 50 German settlers landed in 1766, and pass the Settlers' Landing memorial. Read their unlikely survival story told here in English, French, and German.
Discover the Moncton 100 Monument, erected in 1990 to honour Joseph Salter, shipbuilder and the city's first mayor. Learn how a time capsule sealed inside won't be opened again until 2090.
Visit Treitz Haus, the city's oldest building, dating to 1769 and likely built with Acadian craftsmanship. Step inside this historic structure, now serving visitors as the city's information centre.
Pass the Moncton Public Library, tracing its roots back to 1913 despite a history of fires and relocations. Spot the statue of Northrop Frye out front, honouring the acclaimed literary critic who once called Moncton home.
Explore the Marché Moncton Market, a bustling public market that first opened its doors on December 6, 1884. Wander through over 100 vendors offering local produce, crafts, and food, a tradition that's grown steadily for more than a century.
Visit this bronze memorial honouring Constables Doug Larche, Dave Ross, and Fabrice Gevaudan, killed in the line of duty in 2014. Notice the personal touches at its base, including imprints of running shoes and family fingerprints, added to honour the men behind the uniforms.
Pass La Bikery Co-operative, a community bicycle centre offering rentals, repairs, and a recycle-a-bike program right on the riverfront trail. Discover how this grassroots co-op has helped build a cycling culture in Moncton since 2012.
