Nerepis, New Brunswick

Nerepis is a Canadian rural community in Westfield Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick.

It is situated on the Nerepis River and is located northwest of the town of Grand Bay-Westfield in the local service district of Westfield West. Nerepis is served by Highway 177, Highway 102 and Highway 7.

Employment for Nerepis residents is often by means of a commute to Saint John, the nearest city, which is about twenty-five minutes away; many work in the Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station. Other residents commute to Fredericton, a fifty-minute drive. The community itself is rural and surrounded by forest with four small subdivisions providing the residential component. Elementary and middle school students may attend schools in Grand Bay-Westfield, while high school students generally commute to Saint John.

Possibly a hallmark of the area, the Nerepis River provides canoeing. There is a Nature Conservancy of Canada preserve in the community.
