Cambridge-Narrows was once a small village in Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada. Before 2023, it was its own village. Now, it is part of a larger village called Arcadia.
This area is special because it sits right on Washedemoak Lake. This lake is actually a wider part of the Canaan River. It's just a few kilometers upstream from the big Saint John River. You can get around Cambridge-Narrows using three main roads: Route 695, Route 715, and Route 710.
