A brief history…

Legend has it that a ship came up the Miramichi River with pirates on board – anchoring off the entrance at the French Fort Cove. They came ashore with boxes of gold and other treasures. These were buried under the trees or rocks on the north side of the bridge.

There is also the tale of the Headless Nun. The deadly deed took place at Corneille (Crow Brook). Today on that infamous spot, a bridge spans the brook that flows into the cove.
