Nackawic is a naturalist's paradise 65 kilometres from Fredericton, nestled in the St. John River Valley at the intersection of the Nackawic Stream and the St. John River. The world's largest axe is on display on the banks of the river, signifying the importance of forestry to the town and the province.
Nackawic has one of Canada's highest grossing family incomes and a high proportion of skilled and professional workers.
