Discover the history of Grand Bay-Westfield by exploring the Municipal Heritage Trail!
This 14.5 kilometre trail winds through the heart of our community, running alongside the scenic St. John and Nerepis Rivers.
Designed to complement the natural landscape – the trail features historic information at various kiosk-style shelters, activity equipment stations, peaceful rest spots, picnic areas, and benches — perfect for taking in the scenery and river views along the way.

Once you’ve explored the heritage stories online, we invite you to experience the trail in-person. Whether on foot, by running, or by following parallel to the path on bicycle* or vehicle – be prepared to fully immerse yourself in the history of Grand Bay-Westfield.
*Please Note: The section of rail from the northern intersection of River Valley Drive and Inglewood Drive (near Milligan Brook) to the southern intersection of River Valley Drive and Woolastook Drive (across from the Veterans Peace Park) is reserved for walking and running only. Cyclists are asked to ride on the road that runs parallel to the trail.
