Fundy National Park, New Brunswick

Fundy National park is located in lower eastern New Brunswick, near the town of Alma (below). And yes, it borders Fundy Bay with the most extreme tides in the world.  This park has beautiful acadian hiking trails, numerous waterfalls- 25 actually- and a rugged coastline.  The campsites were nicely private and shaded.

 

   Low tide

 We spent 3 nights here, but that is no way near enough.  If you come, try to spend at least 5 nights to really have time to hike and see the area.  We hiked on the Laverty Falls Trail and Moosehorn, bagging 4 waterfalls which were so pretty and gushing with water.  The trails are very well maintained, but the "ankle grabbers" are certainly present, like snakes.  These trails together were 6 miles, with their ever present elevations of 1100-1200 feet in a by steep climb, but totally enjoyable as the scenery was beautiful.

     

We also hiked a small trail through woods and streams.

After hiking, we went into town for a well deserved beer and dinner.
