Locating Cassidy Lake

Cassidy Lake and the site of the family homestead are located in southern New Brunswick. They are 30 miles (50 km) from Saint John, 50 miles (80 km) from Moncton and 80 miles (130 km) from the provincial capital Fredericton. On a finer scale, they are 9 miles (14 km) from the town of Norton and 15 miles (24 km) from Sussex, both of which are the nearest major population centers.

The way to the lake is over county roads. The most common route is from Highway 1 at Sussex via County Road 111. The Sussex road, until the Norton road was paved in 2001, was generally in better condition, especially in the springtime. The homestead site is on the north side of the lake, facing south and directly overlooking the church. The church is located on the narrow strip of land between the county road and the lake.
