Itinerary description
Distance: 4 km loop
Difficulty: Easy
Shogomoc in Maliseet means “place of chiefs,” a reference to a large flat topped rock, also known as Governor’s Table, that was visible in the Saint John River before being flooded in 1967.
(Getting There)
From Fredericton, drive west on NB-2 (TCH) and take exit 231 onto route 102, then drive towards Nackawic.
After about 870 meters, turn right onto a ramp and then turn left and cross an overpass.
Continue west on NB-102 for about 4.4 km, and just before the road ends, take a narrow paved road on the right.
Follow this road for 2.2 km to the Shogomoc Footbridge.
(The Trail)
Walk across the bridge and then take the path on the left.
Follow the path up hill for 450 meters and turn right onto a wider trail.
Follow the wider trail west for 1.8 km until it nears the Ritchie Road.
Turn right onto the Ritchie road and follow it east for 2 km back to your vehicle.
*about 500 meters west of the bridge, there are some very large boulders left in the woods during the last ice age.
