Mount Carleton Provincial Park is a wilderness park in New Brunswick, set in the northern Appalachian Mountains. The park is also known by its French name, Parc provincial du Mont-Carleton. Its address places it in Saint-Quentin, though the location is in New Brunswick, Canada, rather than the French department of Aisne that the record lists.
What the park offers
The park takes its name from its highest point, Mount Carleton, which rises to 820 metres and is the highest peak in the province. Much of the landscape is wild and forested, with lakes that give the area its quiet character.
- Hiking trails through the mountains and forest
- Backcountry camping for visitors who want to spend nights in the wilderness
- Lakes and mountain scenery across the park
Planning a visit
Mount Carleton suits visitors who enjoy walking, camping and being away from busy places. Because it is a backcountry park, it is worth preparing before you set out, bringing suitable gear and checking conditions with the park beforehand. The park can be reached by phone at +1-506-235-0793.
The park is a good base for a slower trip through northern New Brunswick, where the mountains, lakes and forests are the main reasons to come.
