The best time to visit New Richmond is during the summer months, from late June to early September, when the weather is at its warmest and most conducive for outdoor activities.During this period, temperatures are pleasant, typically ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit), making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Gaspé Peninsula. The longer daylight hours allow for extended enjoyment of activities like hiking, cycling along the Chaleur Bay, or kayaking on the Grand Cascapédia River. Many local attractions and outdoor adventure centers operate at full capacity during these months.For those interested in fishing, particularly for Atlantic salmon, late June to mid-September offers prime conditions on the Grand Cascapédia and Little Cascapédia Rivers. The water levels are generally good, and the salmon are actively migrating upstream, providing excellent opportunities for anglers. Early autumn, specifically September, can also be a good time for fishing as the foliage begins to change, offering a scenic backdrop.While summer is the peak season, the shoulder seasons of late May to early June and mid-September to early October can also be appealing. During these times, you'll find fewer crowds and potentially more competitive pricing on accommodations, though some seasonal businesses might have reduced hours.
