45 minutes south of Fredericton sits Fredericton Junction's Currie House Museum. The buildings and grounds are heritage landmarks with rich histories. Open to the public each summer for tours, the museum is with filled with artifacts from members of the community and surrounding region, including the Medical Diploma of the first woman licensed to practice medicine in New Brunswick, Dr. Elizabeth Secord.

As you venture behind the house into the stunning white pine forest, you’ll find twenty sculptures scattered throughout the trails leading to the river. The pieces, which are carved out of dead pine trees, were pulled from Robin Hanson’s “Art in the Park” collection. (Pro Tip: If you are interested in seeing more of his works, be sure to check out the Hanson Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden which is located just outside of Oromocto! The sculpture garden is open to the public every day from day-break to dusk.)

As you continue, the trail will open above the riverbank asyou reach Currie Point Bluff.
Not only does the Bluff provide a magnificent view, it is also a well-known spot to locals as the home to the famous Gaspereau Run each spring!

The Currie House Museum is a perfect spot for a picnic lunch this summer. And if you’re looking to treat yourself on your way home,stop by Riverhaven Red Barn for an ice cream! (Pro tip: known for their homemade baked goods, this local gem was named one of the best places to get ice cream in Atlantic Canada by Atlantic Business Magazine!)

Another 25 minutes south in Wirral, lays Raggedy Ass Falls – a local favorite. From the trailhead, a quick 10-minute walk, featuring a new bridge, takes you to four waterfalls, located in a picturesque gorge. Raggedy Ass Falls features plunge pools at each falls, perfect for a refreshing dip. At the top of the fourth falls is a 24-inch-deep bore hole just large enough to put your arm down. Legend has it that guests drop coins into the hole and come back next year and find all the dates are worn off the coins.
