The Kings County Court House dates back to the early 1870's and still houses the historic and well-preserved county court and the registry office. The Kennebecasis River flows through Hampton, and provides an excellent opportunity for boating enthusiasts with an easily accessible public launch. Anglers can enjoy fishing for salmon, striped bass, smallmouth bass, sea-run brook trout, sturgeon, gaspereau, pickerel, perch and eel. Downstream provides access to the Saint John River. The Hampton Marsh is recognized as one of the most fertile and productive wetland systems in New Brunswick.
Wetlands support the most diverse wildlife communities of any natural habitats.
201 acres in the Hampton Kennebecasis Marsh system have been developed by Ducks Unlimited Canada. These sites provide brood habitat for such waterfowl as black ducks, blue winged teal, wood ducks, mallards and shovellers as well as nesting habitat for other marsh birds such as rails, yellow throats and bitterns. Birds and mammals including eagles, osprey, swallows, blackbirds, several species of crane, moose, beaver, muskrat and otter also use these wetlands as foraging areas. Water levels are influenced by spring flooding and daily tides. During spring floods water covers the marsh and surrounding fields and replenishes nutrients.
