It lies 16.8 km west of Fredericton, NB (from Fredericton, NB: bearing 269°T), and is situated 13.2 km south of Burtts Corner.2 km south of Burtts Corner. The air here, especially in the early morning, carries the damp, earthy scent of the riverbank, mingling with the sweet perfume of pine needles. Wide fields, often carpeted in vibrant green or golden hues depending on the season, stretch towards the horizon, punctuated by clusters of sturdy farmhouses and the occasional weathered barn. The Saint John River itself, a broad, unhurried artery, dictates the very pulse of Mactaquac, its waters reflecting the vast, ever-changing sky, creating a constant, soothing murmur that is the region's most persistent soundtrack. The history of Mactaquac is intrinsically linked to the mighty Saint John River, a vital waterway for Indigenous peoples for millennia before European settlement. The construction of the Mactaquac Dam in the 1960s fundamentally reshaped the local economy and landscape, creating the vast Mactaquac Headpond, a significant recreational draw that fuels a thriving tourism industry. This impoundment flooded existing settlements and farmland, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made for progress, and its impact is still felt in the collective memory. Today, Mactaquac thrives on a diversified economy, with agriculture – particularly apple orchards that burst with colour in the autumn – and the service sector supporting its residents. The sense of place is strong, a quiet resilience forged by the land and its history, where life moves at a pace dictated by the changing seasons and the steady flow of the river.
À Mactaquac, là où le fleuve Saint-Jean s'élargit en un miroir d'eau calme, le paysage épouse les courbes douces de la terre du Nouveau-Brunswick. Les collines ondulent, drapées dans un vert profond en été, se parant d'or et de pourpre à l'automne, un spectacle d'une beauté simple et constante. Le cours de l'eau, jadis le pouls de la vie, a façonné les premières implantations, y laissant une empreinte d'agriculture et de tranquillité. On y sent encore l'écho d'une histoire ancienne, celle des Premières Nations et des Acadiens qui ont foulé ces terres, tissant dans le tissu même de Mactaquac des récits de résilience et d'attachement à ce coin de pays. Le soleil, lorsqu'il descend à l'horizon, embrase le ciel de teintes chaudes, projetant des ombres longues qui dansent sur les champs et les quelques habitations, rappelant la quiétude de ce lieu où le temps semble s'écouler au rythme des saisons et de la rivière.
