Fundy National Park

Fundy National Park on the inner New Brunswick shore protects 206 square kilometres of Acadian forest and Fundy coastline between the village of Alma and Point Wolfe. The park has over 100 kilometres of trails, from short coastal walks on the tidal flats to demanding backcountry routes through old-growth forest.

The Dickson Falls trail through a mossy gorge is a short walk suitable for any fitness level. The Laverty Falls circuit is longer and gives access to the central plateau of the park, with views over the valley. Coastal hiking along the Fundy Circuit multi-day route passes through forest that drops abruptly to the shore. The village of Alma at the park entrance has fish and chips from the famous Alma Lobster Shop.

A story
The tidal range at Fundy National Park's Alma beach regularly reaches 11 metres — enough to cover a three-storey building. Low tide exposes a broad shelf of sea floor with tidal pools thick with periwinkles, starfish, sea urchins, and anemones. A morning walk on the exposed sea floor, timed before the tide turns, covers terrain that will be under metres of cold seawater by afternoon. The same spot, same day.
