Fundy National Park
Fundy National Park is located in the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, near the town of Alma. Established in 1948, it covers an area of 207 square kilometers and showcases breathtaking coastal scenery and the beauty of inland Acadian forests, representing the last piece of pristine wilderness in New Brunswick.
With its stunning landscapes, Fundy National Park not only offers visitors the chance to explore pristine forests but also allows them to witness the tides on its beaches—it is the only national park in Canada where you can see ocean tides. This world-renowned park is the ideal place to observe some of the highest tides on Earth. When the tide comes in, it surges with tremendous force, with a tidal range of up to 15 meters, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. As the tide recedes, the beach is left covered in an abundance of seashells and marine life, which are a major draw for tourists. The park also features dozens of waterfalls, large and small, among which Dickson Falls is the most famous. The vegetation around Dickson Falls is well-preserved, and the rocks along the stream are covered in lush green moss. From a distance, the white ribbon of the waterfall contrasts beautifully against the vibrant greenery. The crystal-clear water cascades down, transforming into delicate white threads that rush over the surrounding green, all while emitting a mesmerizing sound that soothes the soul—truly a feast for the eyes.
In addition to observing the dramatic tides, visitors to Fundy National Park can also swim, enjoy sea bathing, go fishing, canoeing, explore forests, and visit wildlife reserves. Each area is filled with surprises and thrilling experiences, ensuring an unforgettable trip.
