Water Temperature in Edmundston: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

In Edmundston, New Brunswick, the Saint John River offers a scenic backdrop, but it's not typically a popular location for swimming due to its cooler temperatures and powerful currents. During the colder months, the water temperature in the river can drop to around 35-45°F (2-7°C), making it too cold for comfortable swimming. Even in the summer months, the water temperature in the river rarely exceeds 60-70°F (15-21°C), which might still be considered too chilly for many swimmers. Additionally, the river’s strong currents and occasional debris further reduce the likelihood of swimming there.

Despite these conditions, the Saint John River does provide ample opportunities for other water-based activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, and boating. In the warmer months, some adventurous souls may dip into the river for a quick refresh, though it’s more common to enjoy the river from a boat or along the scenic banks. For those specifically looking for more comfortable swimming conditions, there are nearby lakes and recreational areas where the water temperature is generally warmer, with temperatures often reaching 70-80°F (21-27°C) in the summer months, making them much more suitable for swimming.

In addition to natural bodies of water, Edmundston also offers local swimming pools, where visitors and residents can enjoy more controlled and comfortable environments for swimming. These pools are typically heated, making them a popular option during the warmer months when the river’s temperature might still be too cold for casual swimmers.
