Fundy National Park is more than 206 square kilometers of lush river valleys blended with coastal vistas, and trails leading from the fog-generating Bay of Fundy to high atop the Caledonia Highlands. It's New Brunswick's first national park, and found on the Bay of Fundy's coastline which is formed daily by the giant tides.
Fundy National Park is home to over 260 species of birds, many amphibians and reptiles (including 3 rare types of salamanders) and nearly 40 species of mammals. There are two interesting rock formations in the park.
The grey and beige Owls Head cliffs are composed from sandstone, and Point Wolfe holds the oldest rocks in Fundy National Park formed by volcanoes and the movements of the continents.
Go hiking and biking on the trails that take you from the rocky coast of the Bay of Fundy, to the lush river valleys. If swimming is on your list of things to do, then there is a heated saltwater pool, cool clear streams, and saltwater beaches on the Bay of Fundy.
Waterfalls can be discovered on many of the trails like Dickson Falls, and The Third Vault. Point Wolfe is the home of the famous red covered bridge and is one of the most readily recognized Canadian landmarks. There's a site marker where the original sawmill, and ship yard once stood.
There are 4 campgrounds: Headquarters, Point Wolf, Chignecto and Wolfe Lake. Tents, Trailers and RV's are all welcome. Some of the trails have backcountry sites, and these must be scheduled well ahead.
