Stewiacke is a service and support centre for local agricultural communities (West St Andrews, Wittenberg, Alton and Brentwood) and is also a major service exit on Highway 102. Stewiacke’s new industrial park borders this key highway, which is Atlantic Canada’s busiest commercial corridor.

Stewiacke has two prized attractions. The Mastodon Ridge Development, featuring a replica of an ancient Mastodon discovered nearby. It attracts many visitors to its gift shop, mini golf, museum and restaurants. Stewiacke’s claim of being located on the 45th parallel, placing it halfway between the equator and North Pole draws in many curious visitors, as does its scenic river valley location.
