Discover Inkerman

If you’re looking for a hotel for a stay in Inkerman, specific interests can help you plan: Circuit 8 La Rivière Pokemouche is the cycling highlight, the parks offer play and sports facilities, and the migratory bird sanctuary is nearby.

Cycling along the Pokemouche River

Circuit 8 La Rivière Pokemouche runs along the Pokemouche River and is listed as 41 km one way, or 82 km for a round trip. The route starts in Paquetville at Circuit 7, then follows Route 135 south and Route 350 east. Circuit C8 ends at the intersection with Circuit C5; a sign marks the spot. The two distances can help you decide whether to plan for one way or the return trip as well. Check trail conditions separately before setting out.

After a detour over the Inkerman Bridge, Circuit 8 follows a section away from road traffic and without vehicle traffic. The Pokemouche River is considered a fairy-tale landscape, enjoyed year-round by anglers and hunters.

The planned bridge at Inkerman

A government announcement dated August 12, 2026, noted that trail users at the time had to use a road bridge to cross the Pokemouche River. The planned new recreational trail bridge in Inkerman is intended to restore continuity of the existing trail at the Inkerman Bridge and provide a connection in the Acadian Peninsula cycling network. It is planned to be nearly 500 metres long. The bridge project is planned, not completed. Check the current route status and trail conditions before your trip, especially if you want to include the crossing.

Parks and recreational areas

Parc Uni Inkerman has a children’s playground; Parc sportif d’Inkerman has soccer and tennis courts. If you’re planning to use a particular facility, check the park’s amenities before your visit, as they may change.

Bird habitats and a local cultural landmark

The Inkerman Migratory Bird Sanctuary is nearby and protects habitats used by numerous great blue herons and other colonial-nesting birds. Access varies depending on the landowner and land manager; check access options in advance if you’re considering a visit. Inkerman is also home to the Roman Catholic Church of Saint-Michel-Archange.
