Sentier Nepisiguit Mi'gmaq Trail

The Northern Heat Report - Sentier Nepisiguit Mi'gmaq trail

On this edition of the Northern Heat report we drove up to Governors Wilderness Resort at Popple Depot. If anyone hasn’t had the opportunity to visit this place, it’s a must see for the region. Situated right on the majestic Nepisiguit River and nestled in the forest this log cabin resort is a sight to see. We had the opportunity to catch up with Chief David Peter-Paul of Pabineau First Nation and Rod O’Connell, president of the Sentier Nepisiguit Mi'gmaq Trail. Yesterday the group of volunteers, who have been cutting the trail for the last number of years, finally cut the last meter to finally connect the trail system from the base of Mount Carleton Provincial Park all the way to Daly Point Nature Reserve in East Bathurst. This Trail is something else, it runs approx.. 150 km alongside the Nepisiguit River, all the way to Mt. Carleton, where is connects to the Appalachian trail which will bring you all the way down into the state of Georgia.
