Kouchibouguac National Park

Kouchibouguac National Park is located on the east coast of New Brunswick, established in 1969, covering an area of 238 square kilometers. The park features pleasant barrier islands, golden sand dunes, beautiful lagoons, silvery-white beaches, and large areas of salt marshes. Its diverse ecological environments provide excellent conditions for the growth of flora and fauna.

Kouchibouguac National Park is a national park themed around forest, wetland wildlife, and marshland ecosystems, with extensive coastal forests. It serves as a natural habitat for seabirds and is home to the endangered piping plover—one of the second-largest gatherings of this species in North America. The golden sand dunes, stretching approximately 25 kilometers, are inhabited by harbor seals and grey seals. In recent years, there have been reports of fisher sightings in the park, making it one of the few areas in New Brunswick where this species is found.

Recreational activities in the park include swimming, cycling, hiking, water adventures, and seal watching. It is a paradise for cycling enthusiasts, with dozens of biking and hiking trails available.
