Introduction
Fundy National Park sits on the Bay of Fundy coast in New Brunswick, where forested uplands drop toward tidal flats, rocky beaches, waterfalls, and saltwater views. Parks Canada describes Fundy as a place shaped by some of the world's highest tides, Acadian forest, river valleys, and coastal weather.
For a broader overview of the park's history and geography, see the Fundy National Park Wikipedia page.
Visitors should check Parks Canada alerts, tide timing, trail conditions, camping information, and coastal weather before traveling. The village of Alma is the main gateway community beside the park.
Top Hikes
These three hikes are good starting points for planning, with at least one more difficult option. Distances and elevation gain are rounded; check the official park trail page for current closures, permits, weather, and trail conditions.
Dickson Falls Trail (easy to moderate) - 0.9 miles (1.5 km); elevation gain 200 feet (61 m). A short forested ravine hike to one of Fundy's best-known waterfalls.
Coppermine Trail (moderate) - 2.9 miles (4.6 km); elevation gain 492 feet (150 m). A coastal forest loop with Bay of Fundy views.
Third Vault Falls Trail (difficult) - 4.6 miles (7.4 km); elevation gain 656 feet (200 m). A longer waterfall hike with a more rugged feel than the short frontcountry trails.
Tides and Coast
Fundy National Park is strongly influenced by Bay of Fundy tides. Check the Parks Canada activities page and local tide information before beach walking, paddling, or planning coastal stops.
Camping
The Parks Canada camping page has current details for Fundy campgrounds and overnight options. Campground areas include Headquarters, Chignecto, Point Wolfe, Cannontown, Lakeview, and Backcountry sites. Parks Canada also lists roofed options such as oTENTik, Ôasis, yurts, rustic cabins, and shelters.
