Fundy National Park sits on the Bay of Fundy coast of New Brunswick, Canada, near the village of Alma. It is one of the region's best-known protected areas and is also known in French as Parc national Fundy. The park's address is 8714 NB-114, Alma, NB E4H 1B4, and the park can be reached by telephone at +1-506-887-6000.
The park is best known for the tides of the Bay of Fundy, which are among the highest in the world. Visitors who come to the coast at different times of day can see how dramatically the water level changes, which makes the shoreline feel alive and shifting. The park describes itself as Atlantic Canada's premier national park, and its coastline, forests and wilderness areas give it a wide range of landscapes within one protected area.
What a visit offers
Fundy suits people who enjoy being outdoors. Its coastal hiking trails take walkers along the shore and through the surrounding woods, and the variety of ecosystems means the scenery changes as you move from one section to the next. Because the park includes pristine wilderness areas, it also appeals to those looking for quiet and a sense of distance from busy places.
- Tides: the Bay of Fundy's high tides are the park's defining feature and are worth timing your walk around.
- Coastal trails: hiking routes follow the shoreline and cross varied terrain.
- Wilderness: protected areas give space for a slower, more reflective visit.
Planning your trip
Before you go, check the park's current conditions and contact details, since trail access and visitor services can vary. Fundy works well as a day out from the surrounding area or as a base for a longer stay on the coast. Bring sturdy footwear for the trails and allow time to watch the tides come in and go out, as much of the park's character is found in that rhythm.
