L. P. Fisher Library

The L. P. Fisher Public Library is one of Woodstock’s prized community assets. Situated on Main Street in the heart of town, it was designed and constructed early in the 20th century from part of the fortune which L.P. Fisher, Woodstock’s first mayor, left for the civic betterment of the town. The Fisher Library is both a heritage building and a busy working library, part of the provincial library system. It also houses three specialized collections: the Dr. G.F

Hayes Falls

Hike the Maliseet Trail. This trail passess through a mixed forest stand and has a gentle uphill grade. The trail ends at the Hayes Falls. The ice buildup makes a prime site for an easy and fun winter-time ice climb (lots of anchor potential at the top) and a great winter camping spot to boot. The trail is located about 3km south of Woodstock along the highway, but isn't very well marked. Stop by a tourist bureau to get proper directions.
