About Us
The Roberts family moved to Moose River from Parrsboro
to build ships. The first ship yard was beside the
river were Tidal River Ridge is now located. On our
property are remains of the first settlement in Moose River. In the late 1800,s the Moose River lumber company was born. The remains of the saw mill can be seen from our rivers edge. The saw dust pile was 85 feet high at one time and was called the pyramid by the locals. Steam ships would come from Boston to load up with lumber from the mill they would tie up at the mouth of the river at the wharfs the remain of which can still be seen today. There is also the remains of a dam that was built across the river to harnest the tides, behind the dam the river filled and formed a small lake which they used as the mill pond to hold the logs that were slused from the mountains.
Located in Cumberland County on Route 2, which follows the scenic Glooscap Trail. We are on the beautiful and historic Moose River, nestled in the Cobiquid Mountain Range, near the Bay of Fundy; which boast, the highest Tides in the world. Within walking distance of one of the best fossil finds in North America. A walk down the tidal river is an adventure: dig a bucket of clams, look for fossils or explore the remains of the Moose River Lumber Companies’ dam and saw mill. We are within minutes of attractions such as Fundy Geological Museum, Joggins Fossil Finds, and Five Island Provincial Park. Visit the local shops, golf course, and restaurants; attend live theater. Enjoy on-site activities, such as hiking, bird watching, swimming, fishing, beach combing, clambakes and our recreational area that includes volleyball, basketball, and much more.
