Fundy National Park is located on the Bay of Fundy near the village of Alma, New Brunswick. It includes both seashore and Acadian coastal forests. The park covers an area of 207 km².

Dickson Falls

At low tide, park visitors can explore the ocean bottom which was 9 metres or more below the water's surface at high tide. The Caribou Plain trail and boardwalk provides access to upland forest and bog habitats. The park also includes more than 20 waterfalls. In the 19th century, there were sawmills on the Point Wolfe and Upper Salmon Rivers which produced lumber for nearby Saint John and for export. After the nearby forests had been cut, people began to leave the area. The park was established in 1948 and was New Brunswick's first national park. Park amenities include a golf course, a heated saltwater swimming pool, three campgrounds, and a network of over 100 km of hiking and biking trails. ^[1] The Dobson Trail and Fundy Footpath extend out of the park to Riverview and St. Martins respectively. A unique red-painted covered bridge is located at Point Wolfe.
