Provincial Parks of New Brunswick

 

 

New Brunswick boasts a variety of provincial parks, serving both to conserve nature and to provide recreational opportunities for citizens and tourists.

Although these parks are all on provincially-owned (Crown) land, some are operated by the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture, some controlled by the Department of Energy and Resources Development, and some are operated by private companies or communities.  As a result, conditions at these parks vary greatly.
