Fundy National Park of Canada

Fundy National Park of Canada is located in the province of New Brunswick, along the Bay of Fundy, known for the world’s highest tides. The park lies near the village of Alma and the city of Moncton, offering easy access to amenities and services. Established in 1948, Fundy National Park was created to preserve the natural beauty of the Bay of Fundy’s rugged coastline and protect its unique tidal ecosystem. The park covers over 200 square kilometers and features a diverse landscape of forests, mountains, and waterfalls, as well as coastal cliffs that overlook the dramatic tides. Parking facilities at Fundy National Park are well-distributed, with several parking areas available at trailheads, picnic spots, beaches, and campgrounds. A park pass is required for entry, and parking is included with the pass. Visitors are reminded to follow park rules, such as parking only in designated areas. The park is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including black bears, white-tailed deer, moose, and red foxes. Birdwatchers can spot species such as bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and various migratory birds. The coastal waters also attract harbor seals and a variety of fish species. Fundy’s flora is equally diverse, with Acadian forests dominated by balsam fir, spruce, and sugar maple trees. Lush ferns and mosses blanket the forest floor, while wildflowers such as lady’s slippers and orchids thrive in meadows and wetlands. The coastal areas feature salt marshes and intertidal zones rich with unique vegetation. Notable landmarks include Dickson Falls, Point Wolfe, and the iconic Hopewell Rocks just outside the park, which highlight the power of the tides. The park offers scenic hiking trails with coastal views, lakes, and waterfalls. Public transport options are limited, so visitors typically reach the park by car, though tour buses may offer services during peak seasons.
