Having become a homeland over the years for Aboriginal people, Acadians, Loyalists, Scottish and Irish, the town of New Richmond possesses a rich cultural heritage that can be seen in the architectural styles of the ancestral homes and the churches.
New Richmond is a dynamic vacation destination where the outdoors can be enjoyed year-round. Let yourself be seduced by Pointe Taylor Park located in the heart of the town, at the mouth of the Petite rivière Cascapédia. On-site you will find shows, hiking trails, an in-line skating trail, a canoe and kayak rental service, the event Jardins sur la Baie (gardens on the Bay), a kite shop, picnic areas and restaurant services. Relax on the beach or at the marina, and discover the downtown with its public market and art gallery. Fishing enthusiasts will find all they need and more on the various bodies of water: salmon rivers, bays, lakes, and streams. In the winter, take advantage of the Station touristique Pin Rouge (downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing), the snowmobiling trails and the ice ring near the sea.
