Roosevelt Campobello International Park
Your Safety

Driving
The roads in the natural area are narrow with numerous turnouts to permit passing. Please obey posted speed limits.

Hiking 
Be careful with small children. Sections of the Raccoon Beach-Liberty Point and Liberty Point-Lower Duck Pond Trails travel along high cliffs and ledges. Algae or moss-covered and wet logs and rocks can be slippery. Wear sturdy footwear.

Animals
Do not approach any wild animal. Although rabies is present in New Brunswick, there have been no reported cases on Campobello Island.

Insects
Biting insects include mosquitoes, blackflies, and deerflies. Biting insects are fewer in number after mid-June. Although there may be small populations of some tick species, ticks have not been a problem in the park.

Fishing nets set in Friar Bay.  

Did You Know?
Fishing remains the principal industry on Campbello Island, just as it was during FDR's era. Along the park's western shores, you can see herring weirs and nets holding farm-raised salmon.
