| Ritchie Wharf Boardwalk |
With its long history of shipbuilding, Ritchie
Wharf has been a local tourist attraction since 1991. Located in the former Town of Newcastle, Ritchie Wharf is walking distance
from many downtown shops, restaurants, and pubs. Ritchie Wharf, itself, is home to a number of seasonal businesses, including
a restaurant, a dairy bar, a souvenir shop, and an art gallery.

| Large masts attract visitors to the boardwalk. |
Large masts mark a boardwalk which will take visitors from one end of the wharf to the other,
passing by key amenities such as a large playground, the historic Murray House, several interpretive kiosks, and a public
boat dock. In addition, live entertainment is offered nightly in the park.

| Playground at Ritchie Wharf |
The spirit of the Miramichi River is brought to life through the use of many nautical
themes throughout this park, including the splash pad area of the playground and the replica lighthouse, each anchoring one
end of the wharf. Visitors are able to experience the Miramichi River firsthand with tours of the River offered by both Miramichi
River Boat Tours and Captain Dan’s Boat Tours.
Discover the northern gateway to Miramichi Landings and embrace the
Spirit of the River.
