Fundy National Park
Discover Fundy National Park: A Natural Wonder on Canada’s East Coast
Tucked along the dramatic shores of the Bay of Fundy, Fundy National Park is one of New Brunswick’s most treasured natural gems. Known for its lush Acadian forests, cascading waterfalls, and access to the world’s highest tides, the park is a dream destination for hikers, campers, and nature lovers alike.
An Outdoor Playground for All Seasons
Spanning over 200 square kilometers, Fundy National Park offers a perfect blend of wilderness and accessibility. Whether you're in the mood for a peaceful walk in the woods or a challenging backcountry hike, the park’s extensive trail system has something for everyone.
Top hiking trails include:
Dickson Falls Trail – A short, scenic loop featuring a charming waterfall surrounded by moss-covered cliffs.
Laverty Falls Trail – A moderate hike through dense forest ending at a picturesque waterfall and swimming hole.
Moosehorn Trail – A rugged backcountry adventure ideal for experienced hikers seeking solitude.
Experience the World’s Highest Tides
One of the park’s most unique features is its direct connection to the Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides on Earth. At low tide, you can walk along the ocean floor; at high tide, the same area is submerged by up to 12 meters of water. Tide tables are available at the park entrance to help you plan your coastal explorations.
