Kennedy Lakes Protected Area

Location: central New Brunswick

Size:17,024 ha, will be expanded to 20,665 ha in 2012

Description:  The Kennedy Lakes wilderness area is a combination of high rugged terrain to the west and gentler ridges and valleys with tolerant hardwood forests on the hilltops of the east. A large boulder field amid lakes dominates the central portion. This area would appeal to those seeking a back country wilderness experience for canoeing, hiking, fishing or snowmobiling. 
          The North Renous Lake provides quality salmon and gaspereaux spawning habitat and osprey nesting sites, and the bogs, swamps, spruce-tamarack and beech forests along the North Renous River are home to several rare butterflies and moths.

Notes:

• elevation ranges from 230-570m.

• The Plaster Rock-Renous highway forms part of the southern boundary of this protected area
