Our frozen river system attracts many cross-country skiers in the winter months. It’s fabulous exercise, and a wonderful perspective on the mainland we don’t often get the opportunity to see. Take your skis for a spin on Rockwood Park’s system of 50km of trails, and then head across Lily Lake for a hot chocolate when you’re done. Alternately, Elmhurst Outdoors in Erbs Cove also features 12km of groomed trails for cross-country skiing.
Land acknowledgement
The Saint John Region is situated on the traditional and unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati Nations. This territory is covered by Peace and Friendship Treaties signed with the British Crown in the 1700s. The treaties did not surrender the territory and resources, but recognized Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
Envision Saint John: The Regional Growth Agency pays respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land, and is committed to moving forward in the spirit of truth, collaboration, and reconciliation.
