A Two Nation Vacation
Maine and New Brunswick have a shared history and culture, and are both closely tied to the sea. Check CBSA-ASFC. gc. ca for the latest Canadian Border crossing requirements.
From Lubec, cross the FDR Memorial Bridge to Campobello Island. From downtown Calais cross the short bridge into downtown St. Stephen, NB. Roosevelt Campobello International Park has two new foot trails for outdoor recreation and exploration. The park designed and constructed the trails with the newly formed Roosevelt Campobello International Park Stewardship Team for the purpose of mitigating the adverse effects of climate change, enhancing habitat protection, and providing greater access to the park’ s natural area for discovery.
The first new alignment departs from the Raccoon Beach Trail. It ends on Liberty Point Drive, south of where the bicycle path connects with the field at Raccoon Beach. The other is the new Upper Duck Pond trail, which connects Cranberry Point Drive to the Fox Farm bicycle path. These two projects have added 1.25 miles of new trails to the park!
