Nackawic Waterfront Concessions

One of Canada’s East Coast Riverfront Travel Destinations

Destination Nackawic is emerging as a riverfront travel destination on the east coast of Canada. We’re becoming known as “New Brunswick’s Cottage Country” and a popular spot for all kinds of boaters and fishing enthusiasts.


Thanks to partnerships, investments, and entrepreneurship, the Town of Nackawic has developed a 54-acre recreational and tourism area on the waterfront, designed specifically for boaters to take advantage of. The beautifully-designed waterside experience is the focal point in Destination Nackawic—and it’s full of potential! 

Invest in Nackawic’s Waterfront Transformation

The Destination Nackawic Economic Development Corporation invites partners to help grow our thriving waterfront. Already home to the World’s Largest Axe and stunning sunsets year-round, our new Big Axe Marina offers boat launches, rentals, and fueling—with potential for even more!


Your investment could help develop:


✓ Full-service marina & beaches (including dog-friendly)
✓ Family attractions (splash pads, playgrounds)
✓ Waterfront retail & dining
✓ Overnight accommodations & scenic gardens


By investing in Destination Nackawic’s waterfront, you’re helping new water-based experiences, accommodations, and food and beverage businesses thrive. That’s the spirit of the Destination Nackawic community. That’s the power of partnerships. There are all kinds of exciting development opportunities, and plenty of space to do something like this elsewhere along Mactaquac Lake.

Destination Nackawic’s waterfront development

Destination Nackawic’s stunning new marina on Mactaquac Lake offers prime opportunities for waterfront businesses. Capitalize on the multibillion-dollar recreational fishing industry with boat rentals, charters, or guided tours. In winter, the frozen lake transforms into a sparkling playground for snowmobilers, skaters, and snowshoers – perfect for trailside ventures. Invest in four seasons of adventure!
