Welcome to St. George
Discover the blend of old and new as you explore our enchanting town. Stroll quiet and unpretentious streets to the spot where the first settlers climbed ashore from the Magaguadavic River in 1783. Catch a glimpse of the past in the granite post office, the Presbyterian Kirk (the oldest building in Canada and still in use as a Presbyterian church), and the Anglican cemetery. In the forests around the town, sense the ghosts of the past in abandoned granite quarries. View our world famous gorge from above and below the falls. Marvel at the stubborn Atlantic Salmon maneuvering the fish ladder. Scan the sky above the river basin for eagles. Thrill for the sight of an osprey diving for its prey. Walk through our Covered Bridge at Canal and then enjoy a day of sun and sand at Lake Utopia on the sandy shores. Keep one eye open for the Lake Utopia Monster. It still lurks here.
Gather information on everything to do in and around our area at the newly decorated tourist facilities at the Day Adventure Centre. Photo opportunities abound on the lookout of the Magaguadavic basin on the banks of the upper river in St. George, where the river meets the sea, where old meets new, where visitors meet unspoiled countryside, uncrowded beaches but always a friendly welcome!
