The Miramichi River area includes much of central New Brunswick running from the northeast Acadian Coast to the capital, Fredericton, in the southwest. Unlike much of the surrounding area, the Miramichi passes through Anglophone towns settled by Irish and Scottish who brought with them history, culture, and a love of festivals.
By car
Miramichi is 140-150 km northwest of Moncton via Highways 11 or 126, and 80 km south of Bathurst on Highway 8, and 172 km north of Fredericton on Highway 8.
