Plaster Rock pairs small-town ease with big-nature adventure. Set along the Tobique River, the community is known worldwide for hosting the World Pond Hockey Championship, where dozens of outdoor rinks glow with winter energy and spectators warm up with local hospitality. Everyday life revolves around the outdoors: paddlers drift past quiet bends in summer, while sledders tap into a vast trail network maintained by the New Brunswick Federation of Snowmobile Clubs. Weekend explorers love that the highlands of Mount Carleton Provincial Park are an easy day trip for summit views and starry skies.
Community amenities make settling in straightforward. The Village of Plaster Rock coordinates recreation at the Tobique-Plex arena, seasonal events, and riverside green spaces, and the local library and clubs keep calendars full year-round. Families appreciate schools within the Anglophone West School District, known for close-knit classrooms, supportive staff, and opportunities in academics, trades, and athletics. For visiting friends or a quick staycation, nearby campgrounds and regional attractions featured by Tourism New Brunswick add easy variety.
Commuting is practical, too: you’re roughly an hour from Edmundston and Woodstock, and about two from Fredericton, keeping bigger-city shopping and services within reach while you come home to quieter streets and trailheads minutes away.
