Exploring The Best Outdoor Activities in the Kennebecasis Valley (Winter Edition)

Rothesay isn’t just a summer destination—it’s a four-season playground, and winter brings its own crisp aired magic.

While the warm months draw boaters, swimmers, and sunset watchers to the Kennebecasis River, the colder months transform Renforth Wharf into a hub for outdoor adventure, community fun, and stunning winter scenery.

Winter Activities at Renforth Wharf

Whether you're looking for a peaceful moment by the frozen river or an action-packed day in the snow, there's something for everyone:

✅ Skating & Pick-Up Hockey – Lace up your skates and hit the ice for a friendly game of shinny. With the crisp winter air and a scenic backdrop, there’s no better way to enjoy the season. 🥅

✅ Bonfires by the River – Gather around a fire with friends, sip something warm, and take in the beauty of winter sunsets in Rothesay. Bonus, the sun goes down so early in the winter you'll still have lots of time to fish for dinner afterward (kidding, smelts are more like a snack).🔥

✅ Ice Fishing – Hoping for a big catch? Well, let’s be honest—you’re reeling in smelt if you'er fishing near the wharf, but it’s all part of the fun! Even better is there are shacks you can rent, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy the time. 🎣

✅ Snowshoeing & Cross-Country Skiing – Explore the picturesque trails and open spaces around the wharf. A fresh snowfall makes for the perfect setting. ⛷️

✅ Fat Biking & Snowmobiling – For those who crave a little more speed, Renforth and the surrounding areas on the River offer great terrain for both fat biking and snowmobiling or taking out the side by side. 🚴‍♂️

All this contingent on good ice conditions and the ice being thick enough of course!

Why Visit Renforth Wharf in Winter?

Whether you’re here for the adventure, the views, or simply to breathe in that crisp, refreshing air, Renforth Wharf delivers. It’s a place where locals and visitors come together to embrace the beauty of winter in New Brunswick.

So, which activity is your favorite? Personally, I’m always up for a good pick-up game on the ice! ⛸️🏒
