Fun Fact

Bathurst was initially named Nepisiguit by its Mi’gmaq inhabitants. You can follow the historic Mi’gmaq migration route by following the Sentier Nepisiguit Mi’gmaq Trail that follows the Nepisiguit River from Bathurst to Mount Carleton Provincial Park. Indigenous people used to follow this trail to fish in summer by the coast and hunt inland in winter.
