Hiking in Mactaquac Provincial Park: A Fun & Easy Day Trip From Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada!

Today we're taking you to Mactaquac Provincial Park in New Brunswick! This is a fun and easy day trip from Fredericton, just a 30-minute drive from the city. This summer we've been prioritizing adventures close to home and exploring our own backyard, so while we were visiting with Sam's parents in Fredericton, we drove out to Mactaquac for a day close to nature.

The nice thing about Mactaquac is that the trails are short and easy (the longest is 2.4 kilometres), which makes it very accessible to the whole family. We tackled Little Mactaquac Trail, Beaver Pond Trail, and Alex Creek Trail. We saw birds, frogs and even had a really cool encounter with a river otter.

After hiking all morning, we had lunch at MOCO, a restaurant located by the golf course in the park. Here we chowed down on poutine, burgers and fries, a seafood cheese melt, and a fettucini alfredo with shrimp and scallops.

It was a really fun day close to nature and we didn't have to travel that far! We hope you guys enjoy this video and get a little taste of what summer in New Brunswick is like.
