Things to see and do Île Miscou

Miscou has many bogs but does not exploit them, unlike the nearby Lamèque Island. The 800 residents of Miscou wanted to keep a place preserved by creating this peat trail, a bucolic path about 700 metres long on a wooden lift mounted on piles. Plants and shrubs grow here in a hostile, hydrogeologic environment, that is, they are fed only in rainwater. The typical flowers of the island's bogs are Labrador tea, daphné daphné, and small leaf kalmia. This bog trail has been built to allow visitors to know all about the most emblematic plants of the sites. A little miracle, which lasts only time, instead of every year in the fall: Gaylussacia and kalmia flowers saw red red, giving the beautiful postcard image of the island and one of New Brunswick's strongest symbols.
