About Chipman
 |
Welcome to the village of Chipman, located on the banks of the Salmon River, and at the head of Grand Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Maritime provinces. Chipman maintains a peaceful, rural setting while offering year-round recreation, community events, and easy access to all needed services.
Chipman is centrally located; a hub to the major cities of Saint John, Fredericton, Moncton, and Miramichi. The closest city is Fredericton, the provincial capital, where additional resources such as an airport and shopping malls are located. A daily bus service is available for travel to and from Fredericton. The Trans-Canada highway is a mere 50 km to the east, facilitating travel to most destinations both in and out of province. The Chipman Marine Wharf provides docking for small water craft that travel the Grand Lake. It is the only area on the lake that provides a vast number of services within walking distance. Also offered is a local airfield with a paved runway suitable for light aircraft. Historically, Chipman’s industrial base was grounded in forestry, coal, and brick. The tradition continues with the ultra-modern facility of J.D. Irving Woodlands Ltd. and Grand Lake Timber Ltd. They process much of the abundantly available local timber -- the main source of economic growth in the area. Visit us any time, we would love to have you. |
