Nerepis River

Towards the headwaters, it passes through the communities of Nerepis, Blagdon, Bayard, Welsford (where a tributary, Douglas Creek, tumbles into the river over a 15-metre (49 ft) waterfall),[1] Fowlers Corners, Petersville, and New Jerusalem.

There was an Indian settlement and fort at the confluence of the Nerepis and the St John Rivers (Woodman's Point), known to the French as early as 1696.

Among the recipients was Maj. John Coffin, a half-pay officer of the New York Volunteers and later a member of the Assembly in New Brunswick.

Over many years, military practice manoeuvres at CFB Gagetown have degraded the water quality and affected fish habitat in the river and its tributaries.

[5] Since 1996, the base has been actively working to remedy the situation by hardening fords and stream approach routes.

This house was owned by General John Coffin. Coffin was granted a tract on the Nerepis as a reward for services rendered the British during the American Revolution. The painting dates from 1839. New Brunswick Museum
