Victoria County balances small-town ease with big landscapes and lively, bilingual culture. The Saint John and Tobique rivers shape day-to-day life here, whether you’re strolling the riverfront in Grand Falls, kayaking near Perth-Andover, or heading to Plaster Rock for outdoor festivals and winter trail adventures. Hikers and campers prize nearby Mount Carleton Provincial Park, home to the highest peak in the Maritimes and miles of forested trails, lakes, and dark-sky viewing at Mount Carleton Provincial Park. The Grand Falls Gorge, potato-country farm stands, and easily navigable roads off the Trans-Canada make weekend exploring simple, with day trips up the valley toward Madawaska County just as effortless.
Families will find strong education options in both official languages. The Anglophone West School District offers neighborhood schools, experiential learning, and extracurriculars across the county through the Anglophone West School District, while the Francophone Nord-Ouest school district supports French-language education from early years to graduation through the Francophone Nord-Ouest school district. Community arenas, riverside parks, and year-round programs keep calendars full, from shinny hockey and pond tournaments to summer markets and live music. Local dining leans farm-to-table, with hearty Acadian and valley traditions, and essential services—from clinics to recreation centers—are close at hand.
