Hiking in Mactaquac Provincial Park: A Fun & Easy Day Trip From Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada!

Today we re taking you to Mactaquac Provincial Park in New Brunswick! This is a fun and easy day trip from Fredericton, just a 30-minute drive from the city. This summer we ve been prioritizing adventures close to home and exploring our own backyard, so while we were visiting with Sam s parents in Fredericton, we drove out to Mactaquac for a day close to nature. The nice thing about Mactaquac is that the trails are short and easy (the longest is 2.4 kilometres), which makes it very accessible to the whole family. We tackled Little Mactaquac Trail, Beaver Pond Trail, and Alex Creek Trail. We saw birds, frogs and even had a really cool encounter with a river otter. After hiking all morning, we had lunch at MOCO, a restaurant located by the golf course in the park. Here we chowed down on poutine, burgers and fries, a seafood cheese melt, and a fettucini alfredo with shrimp and scallops. It was a really fun day close to nature and we didn t have to travel that far! We hope you guys enjoy this video and get a little taste of what summer in New Brunswick is like. * * * * * GEAR WE USE Panasonic GH5: http://amzn.to/2yqTUyi Canon G7X ii: http://amzn.to/2yqtM6B Rode Video Micro: http://amzn.to/2wTguTM Joby Gorilla Pod: http://amzn.to/1PgoY5F SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro: http://amzn.to/25KEErs * * * * * SOCIAL MEDIA & TRAVEL BLOGS AUDREY: blog: http://thatbackpacker.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatbackpacker/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatbackpacker twitter: https://twitter.com/ThatBackpacker SAMUEL: blog: http://nomadicsamuel.com/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nomadicsamuel twitter: https://twitter.com/NomadicSamuel instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomadicsamuel/ * * * * * Music We Use: http://bit.ly/SamAudreyMusic
