On the way back we took the ferry across the Saint John River @ Gagetown and stopped to measure a big maple that we had noted on a bike trip last summer. We were in a bit of a rush so I didn't get a chance to spend much time trying to positively identify the species, but I'm pretty sure it's a red maple. I did a quick CBH measurement which came in at 512 cm (201.6 inch / 16.8 feet), and snapped a quick photo which I have attached. There are lots of big maples along the Saint John River valley, but this is one of the biggest I've seen, at least in terms of girth.
