Fundy
National Park of Canada - New Brunswick - Canada - Discover A Multitude
Of Incredible Trail Experiences
Fundy National Park is a
beautiful place, where the green Caledonia
Highlands meet the great tides of the Bay of Fundy. Hiking is one of
the most popular activities in Fundy National Park.
With almost 125 km of trails, there's bound to please everyone. Self
guided trails are well maintained and great to enjoy. The highlands of
the Fundy National Park descend fairly 382 meters to
the Bay and the small rivers that flow through the Park tumble and
cascade as they drop to the sea, so waterfalls are common.
