  • North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
  • North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
  • North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
  • Canada ↗Visa-exempt travellers flying to or through Canada usually need an eTA; check your passport on the official Government of Canada site (canada.ca) and apply only there.
  • Canada ↗A Parks Canada pass is needed to stop in national parks such as Banff and Jasper; some spots (for example Moraine Lake) are reached only by shuttle or tour, so book ahead.
  • Canada ↗Keep well away from bears, elk and moose; carry bear spray on Rockies trails and follow trail closures.

Woodstock is a town of about 5,200 on the Saint John River, 72 km west of Fredericton and the oldest incorporated town in New Brunswick. It sits on the Trans-Canada Highway and on the I-95 corridor from Maine, so most travellers meet it as a break in a drive rather than a destination. The historic downtown, two riverside rivers, the Meduxnekeag trails and a long covered bridge fill a comfortable half-day.

Watch out

Safety

A small, quiet town and one of the safer stops in New Brunswick. The real risks are winter driving on Route 2 and I-95, moose after dark, and unmarked trails: tell someone where you are going.
  • Museum hours are seasonal: the Old Court House and Charles Connell House open mainly July–August, otherwise by appointment.
  • The Maliseet Trail to Hayes Falls is poorly marked; ask at a tourist bureau for directions before setting out.
  • Winter driving on Route 2 and I-95 brings snow, ice and moose after dark.
  • Cell coverage is fine in town but patchy on back roads; download offline maps.
