Possibly the prettiest of Albert County's villages, Riverside-Albert is nestled at the point where the Shepody River flows through the extensive marshlands to the Shepody Bay. Against the setting sun Caledonia Mountain stands, once part of a mountainous chain older than both the Western Rockies and the Eastern Appalachians.

Today, Riverside-Albert is more highly appreciated for the beautiful homes and buildings of historic architecture located along sedate and shaded streets. 

Built in 1905, one the most distinctive structures is the Riverside Consolidated School,  Canada's oldest consolidated school, still in use.  It's commanding presence draws the eye as travellers drive through the village.

Another landmark is the Old Scotia Bank, now a museum and tourist information centre, located at the crossroads of Route 114 and 915.

Nearby, the Crooked Creek Lookout affords spectacular views of the Crooked Creek gorge, especially during the fall foliage season.  This trail connects by roadway with 14 km of the NB Trail system, part of the Trans-Canada Trail. 

Two of Albert County's historic covered bridges are in Riverside-Albert.  One crosses Crooked Creek and the other crosses Sawmill Creek and is located alongside Route 114, on the NB Trail....it is the only covered bridge along the famous Canadian trail system.
