Fundy National Park – 2018 Infrastructure Funding Announcement
Grand total investment: $1.7M

Fundy National Park

Located in New Brunswick on Canada’s Atlantic Coast, Fundy National Park encompasses 20 kilometres of dramatic shoreline along the Bay of Fundy, famous for having the world’s highest tides. Twice a day, up to 12 metres of water or more rush in and out, roughly equivalent to the height of a four story building. For visitors, this means exceptional sightseeing and unforgettable kayaking, not to mention a unique chance to explore the sea floor at low tide. More than 100 kilometres of hiking and biking trails ribbon through 206 square kilometres of Acadian forest, leading to thundering waterfalls, freshwater lakes, and scenic river valleys. In winter, a number of these trails are groomed for snowshoeing, fat biking, and cross-country skiing. The Headquarters tobogganing hill also provides a great place to spend a fun-filled afternoon with family and friends. Cozy accommodations are available for overnight guests at the park’s rustic cabins, oTENTiks, and yurts. Several campsites are also available for winter campers in the Headquarters Campground.
