About New Brunswick’s Restigouche River

The oversized rate stamp features a photograph of the Restigouche River in New Brunswick by Canadian photographer Guylaine Bégin.

• The Restigouche River in northern New Brunswick flows northeast for 200 kilometres from its source in the Appalachian Mountains to Chaleur Bay, an arm of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
• The Upper Restigouche is included in the Canadian Heritage River System, in part for its history as a Mi’kmaq waterway, its habitat for bald eagles, moose and lynx, and its canoeing and kayaking appeal.
• The scenic river is also world renowned for its tranquil beauty and Atlantic salmon fishing, which attracts anglers from all over the world.
