Riverview is a town with a casual, comfortable, and familiar warmth of spirit.
Riverview is a welcoming and friendly town with close connection to nature, being sandwiched between the Petitcodiac River and Fundy Biosphere, a love for active living, and urban proximity to downtown Moncton within a few minutes.
Observe the River’s world-renowned tidal bore twice daily, with the wave of the bore breathing new and exciting changes in the natural landscape of the riverbanks and marshes. What you might not know is that Riverview is hands down the best place to watch this incredible phenomenon, with multiple viewing locations along the extensive Riverfront Trail.
If you’re looking for a town with more parks and trails than you can count, then look no further than the Town of Riverview.
You can’t visit Riverview without noticing the beautiful Riverfront Trail that stretches 5.2km along the river banks, with spectacular views of the Petitcodiac River. Cycle, run, or walk the Riverfront Trail to take in the sunset or observe wildlife such as migratory waterfowl on the marshlands. At night, enjoy views of the dancing lights from the City of Moncton directly across the River.
The Mill Creek Nature Park is a flourishing 500+ acre destination to enjoy, relax and reconnect with nature. It includes numerous trails to choose from for all types of activity from a leisurely hike, cross country skiing to fat biking.
Don’t let the name fool you! While it might be called the Moncton Golf and Country Club, this beautiful 18-hole golf course is actually located in the heart of Riverview. The course is very walkable with exceptional conditions from tee to green, and some rewarding challenges along the way that every golfer will love.
Perhaps one of Riverview’s best-known trails, the Dobson Trail attracts thousands of eager hikers looking for adventure year after year! The Dobson Trail is a 58km section of the Trans Canada Trail that stretches from Riverview to the northern boundary of Fundy National Park. Hikers on the trail get to enjoy their trek through soft and hardwood stands, past a beaver dam, views of a gorgeous lake and countless scenic lookouts.
Riverview is synonymous with small-town living, but access to the City of Moncton and its downtown core is literally a 5-minute drive across the Gunningsville Bridge.
Or skip the car and either bike or walk to downtown Moncton in 15-30 minutes along the Riverfront Trail system that spans both sides of the Petitcodiac River. If you need to catch a flight, the Greater Moncton Romeo International Airport is a 15 minute drive.
Right in the centre of Atlantic Canada, Riverview is close to what matters to you. The Acadian Forest is in your backyard; the city of Moncton is right across the beautiful Petitcodiac River. You are in the middle of it all—yet getting away from it all is a river breeze. Defined by its familiar warmth of spirit, physical charm and alive with a genuine humanity that can only come from knowing your neighbours.
