You will use the Grand Manan
Ferry Service, for passengers and cars, which connects with Black's Harbour,
New Brunswick. The Ferry Terminal at Black's Harbour is on the south shore of
New Brunswick, about 6 miles of route 1, between St. Stephen and Saint John.
Visitors from the United States may enjoy the scenic
drive up the coast of Maine on Route 1, or may go directly from Bangor to
Calais on Route 9. Crossing the International border from Calais, Maine, to St.
Stephen, New Brunswick, the visitor continues on New Brunswick Route 1. About 4
miles past St. George, a well marked right turn shows the route to Black's
Harbour and the Grand Manan Ferry Terminal.
Visitors
entering New Brunswick from Quebec will enjoy the drive down the Saint John
River Valley on the Trans Canada Highway (Route 2). Just before crossing the
Saint John River at Fredericton, a right turn onto Route 7 will lead to Saint
John. On the outskirts of the city, Route 7 connects with Route 1. Heading west
about 35 miles, a well marked left turn will show the way to Black's Harbour.
Visitors entering New Brunswick at the Nova Scotia
Border, near Sackville, should turn off the Trans Canada Highway at Sussex, and
stay on Route 1 through Saint John to the Black's Harbour turnoff in
Pennfield.
Please remember that New Brunswick is on
Atlantic Standard Time so set your watches ahead one hour when you cross the
border into Canada from the United States or when you cross the border into New
Brunswick from Quebec.
