Chamcook Mountain

Chamcook Mountain is a summit in Charlotte County that rises above the surrounding landscape and guides hikers up marked trails. The route passes through different vegetation zones and reveals rock formations shaped by the region's ice age history.

The mountain takes its name from a word in the Passamaquoddy indigenous language, spoken by people who lived in this region long before European settlement. This name reflects the deep historical connection of the place to the first peoples of New Brunswick.

The mountain serves as a natural classroom for geology students who study the extensive evidence of glacial erosion visible on its rock formations.

The climb takes roughly one hour and leads to viewpoints over the bay and surrounding coastal communities. The best views usually come in spring and fall months, when the air is clearer.

The mountain's surface bears clear marks from glacial activity in past ice ages, documented in the rock formations. These markings tell the story of how massive ice sheets once shaped this landscape.
