Major city · Canada
Hartland
Stop for 2–3 hours to walk the world's longest covered bridge, then move on: Hartland has no night of its own to fill.
Hartland is a village of about 950 people on the Saint John River, 25 km west of Woodstock and 105 km west of Fredericton. Its one draw is the Hartland Covered Bridge, 391 m long and the longest covered bridge in the world, a National Historic Site you can drive or walk across. Everything else — a library in a 1912 post office, a chip-factory tour, a golf course — fills an afternoon at most. Treat it as a half-day stop on the Trans-Canada Highway, not a base.

- North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
- North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
- North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
- Canada ↗Visa-exempt travellers flying to or through Canada usually need an eTA; check your passport on the official Government of Canada site (canada.ca) and apply only there.
- Canada ↗A Parks Canada pass is needed to stop in national parks such as Banff and Jasper; some spots (for example Moraine Lake) are reached only by shuttle or tour, so book ahead.
- Canada ↗Keep well away from bears, elk and moose; carry bear spray on Rockies trails and follow trail closures.

Getting around
You need a car. Route 2 (Trans-Canada Highway) bypasses the town to the west; take the exit onto Route 130 into Hartland. Route 105 runs along the north bank of the Saint John River and Route 103 along the south bank. The village itself is walkable: the bridge, the library and Main St are within about 10 minutes on foot.

Watch out
Safety
- The bridge is single-lane: wait for oncoming traffic and watch for pedestrians on the 1945 walkway.
- Winter ice and snow make the bridge and river roads slippery; check conditions before driving in from Fredericton or Woodstock.
- The potato-chip factory tour does not run on many winter Fridays: check before you drive out to Waterville.
- Cell coverage is fine in the village but patchy on river back roads.
