The Border Route follows Route 289 from
Saint-André-de-Kamouraska to
Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande via
Pohénégamook and
Rivière-Bleue, along the border between Québec and New Brunswick or Maine.
Life in this region has always been influenced by the reality of living near a
border, and
fascinating stories about border crossings remain in the collective imagination: sharing a border region with the U.S., bootlegging during Prohibition, tobacco smuggling in the 1980s and 1990s, etc.
In addition to learning about
great moments in history, this scenic drive will take you through
typical Bas-Saint-Laurent scenery, from coastal farmland to forest plateaus and alongside magnificent lakes and rivers.
To guide you,
Morris columns in the shape of boundary monuments are located in each municipality on the Border Route. They contain a map of the municipality along with information about local
attractions and
activities. Immerse yourself in the rich natural and cultural heritage of Bas-Saint-Laurent during this fascinating
scenic drive!
