This is an easy trip that few New Brunsickers have ever done. We didn't see another person in peak paddling season. The fishing was excellent, and so was the camping and company. I went so far as to return later in the summer on a solo adventure.
Most of the trip paddles through crown / public land, so there are no houses or camps.
There were no established sites that we could find.
The closest guage at Salmon River read between 10-11 during our trip. There was barely enough water to get through the last stretch below the 123 bridge.
This is a great trip, when the water is right. Check out my detailed report for a description of the right water level
