💡 Tips

The St. George Gorge is most spectacular after a heavy rain or during the spring melt.
Visit the fish ladder in late summer or early fall to potentially see salmon navigating upstream.
Walk across the bridge directly over the falls for the most dramatic photo opportunities of the gorge.
It's an excellent, quieter base camp for exploring the Fundy coast compared to busier nearby towns.

St. George, famously known as the 'Granite Town,' is located along the Magaguadavic River in New Brunswick, Canada.

MacKenzies Bar is another notable waterfront location where visitors can enjoy the dramatic coastal scenery and watch for local wildlife. The surrounding area is popular for salmon fishing, kayaking, and hiking through pristine maritime forests. Local life revolves around the water, with aquaculture and fishing being key industries.
