Nouvelle between a river mouth and Baie des Chaleurs

Nouvelle is located at the mouth of the Nouvelle River on the north shore of Baie des Chaleurs. Its location connects the river with the coastline of the bay. The landscape and activities in the community and nearby offer different perspectives for planning your trip. First consider whether nature, motorized trails, the beach or fishing should shape your stay.

A gateway to Parc national de Miguasha

Parc national de Miguasha can be reached from Route 132 via the municipality of Nouvelle. If the park is part of your trip, you can consider Nouvelle as part of your route to the park and Route 132 as a reference point for finding your way. This can help you take a visit to the park into account when choosing where to stay.

Miguasha’s landscape and beach

Nouvelle’s landscape includes mountains, forests, rivers, fields and the sea. These different natural features sit side by side; you can decide for yourself which aspect of the landscape matters most when planning your trip. Miguasha’s undeveloped beach offers a beautiful view and is a place to relax. Access to the beach is reserved for residents. Keep this restriction in mind when planning time at the beach.

ATV and snowmobile trails

Nouvelle has several ATV trails and several snowmobile trails. These are two different options for travelers who want to include motorized excursions in their stay. Trail conditions can vary by season; check current conditions before setting out. If you are choosing between these options, the type of excursion you want and the season are useful factors to consider when planning.

Fishing in ZEC de la Rivière Nouvelle

Nearby, anglers can fish for Atlantic salmon and sea-run trout in ZEC de la Rivière Nouvelle. The ZEC includes six fishing areas along almost 80 kilometres of river. This makes it a specific regional option for a stay that includes fishing. Fishing opportunities are nearby, while the ATV and snowmobile trails are located in Nouvelle itself. Check the applicable rules and seasons before your trip.

Choose accommodation to suit your travel plans

In 2026, Camping de l’Auberge Miguasha has ten campsites and ten rental chalets; these numbers may change. If you are considering a rental chalet, check availability in advance. These details provide a specific point of reference if you are weighing a campsite against a rental chalet as different accommodation options.

When looking for a vacation rental, it is worth organizing your travel plans around the focus you want. Options within Nouvelle and fishing opportunities nearby belong to different geographic areas. Consider whether activities in the municipality or the regional fishing opportunities should be the deciding factor in your choice of location.
