St. Stephen
Open:Year-round
Spanning 350 rolling acres along the St. Croix River, Ganong Nature Park mixes heritage farm buildings, pollinator meadows and eight kilometres of wooded trails ideal for birding, snowshoeing and cross-country runs. Elevated lookouts reveal the international river islands where early explorers camped, while an educational centre hosts maple-syrup events, summer camps and geocaching challenges. Dog-friendly and minutes from downtown, the park provides a serene educational pause in every season.
