Map
Welcome to Bathurst!
Bathurst is situated at the mouth of the Nepisiguit River, where it meets with beautiful Chaleur Bay (Baie de Chaleur). Its ideal riverside and coastal location beckons residents and visitors to engage in various outdoor activities such as salmon fishing, canoeing and beachcombing on stunning natural beaches. The reputed snowmobile capital of Atlantic Canada, the city is also a popular destination for cross-country skiing and mountain biking. Downtown Bathurst inspires a more relaxed pace. On the waterfront, visitors can stroll boardwalks that meander past galleries, artisan shops and restaurants, all the while enjoying pretty views of the harbour. The indoor farmers' market offers old-fashioned fun, quality crafts and produce every Saturday morning, and a medley of restaurants populate the city's streets.Like much of the province, Bathurst lays claim to a strong French, British and Scottish heritage. Tales of the area's past are revealed at the Nepisiguit Centennial Museum and Cultural Centre, while its mining-based economy is explored at the New Brunswick Mining and Mineral Interpretation Centre located 15 minutes away in nearby town Petit-Rocher.
