Hillsborough is a small riverside village on the Petitcodiac with tidal creeks, salt marshes, colourful historic houses and a compact Main Street — great for moody waterscapes, rustic architecture and birdlife. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and reflective water; high tide enhances reflections and marsh textures. Easily walkable with roadside parking; no entry fees. Spring and fall offer migratory birds and foliage; weekdays are quieter. Respect private property and local residents.
