Fundy National Park

About this place

Fundy National Park is a Canadian national park on the Bay of Fundy near the village of Alma, New Brunswick, about 7 km from the village centre in a straight line. It was created in 1946 and officially opened in 1950. The park showcases a rugged coastline rising to the Canadian Highlands, the highest tides in the world and more than 25 waterfalls. It covers 207 square kilometres along Goose Bay, the northwestern arm of the Bay of Fundy, and the Nova Scotia coast can be seen across the water. At low tide visitors can explore the exposed sea floor, which disappears under 15 metres of water at high tide. Rocky rivers tumble through dense green forest, small streams run in narrow ravines, and broad pebble beaches appear at low tide. Among its best-known sights are the Point Wolfe River with its red covered bridge, and Dickson Falls. The park has more than 100 km of hiking and biking trails, including 25 hiking trails, the most popular being the Dickson Falls trail. There is a heated saltwater pool, three campgrounds and a golf course. In winter it is open for day use, with skiing and snowshoeing. Check the tide times before heading down to the shore.
