Green River

If you’re looking for somewhere to actually clear your head, this spot along the Trans-Canadian Trail in Edmundston delivers. The paved walking path is well-kept and leads you right up against the tree line, where it starts to feel less like a suburb and more like actual wilderness. Locals use it year-round, and in fall especially, the forest backdrop is hard to beat. Bring the bikes or just lace up your shoes — either way, you’re getting proper fresh air out here.
