THE LOWER SAINT JOHN RIVER
Discover spring sea kayaking when the "freshet" floods the shores and
delta islands of the Lower Saint John. During this three day weekend we
will follow the narrow, winding channels that slip under a canopy of huge
red maples alive with warblers and woodpeckers, creating a scene more
reminiscent of a southern mangrove swamp than an Acadian forest. We will
lose ourselves in a marshland maze, forage for fiddleheads (young Ostrich
ferns-a local delicacy) and uncover the story of early settlement when
river boats plied the waterway. Evenings will be spent relaxing in a historic
riverside inn. (Read an article on the Lower

SHIPWRECKS
AND BURIED TREASURE
Our coastline is haunted by many maritime stories and myths and Liscomb
Island is the site of several. On this remote outpost we encounter cryptic
engravings hinting at buried treasure and an abandonned money pit where
treasure hunters sought Capt Kidd’s booty. A deserted light station,
with its classic tower, overlooks the entrance to the bay and the remnants
of an earlier settlement (with its graveyard overgrown by the forest).
On nearby Tobacco Island colonies of Blue Herons, Eider Ducks, Cormorants
and Gulls find refuge. We will also paddle out to a fading shipwreck,
tossed up on shore years ago and gradually sucumbing to the rigours of
Atlantic winter storms We will spend the nights at Liscomb Lodge Resort.
