Before I even get to the sights, I have to share that my vacation had a near-disaster while I was there as my car broke down in the middle of the park. I share this as it gives me the opportunity to praise Josh, Nancy, and Murray (all employees) who went way out of their way to be helpful and caring to me and my dog while we were “stuck.” The tow truck couldn’t get to us until the following morning, and these 3 folks made sure we were safe for the night, brought coffee, and even checked that there was water for my dog. I cannot thank them enough. I am grateful beyond measure.

And on to the beauty of this place!

The views you will have of the Bay of Fundy are nothing short of spectacular. Parking at the various vistas and trailheads is ample, and it was quite uncrowned. What you see around every turn and corner is a feast for the eyes. This was my first time sightseeing along the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, and I would heartily recommend taking your time to explore here. You will be well rewarded.

We were totally impressed by the management policies of this place. Yes, it had all the lookout points, bathrooms and explanatory signs that one would expect of a quality driving destination - but it had MORE. We were at Long Beach at low tide (a priority activity) and saw that the interpretive centre beside the parking lot had beach chairs to take and return! And towels to use and return! And sunscreen! And sand toys for the kids! And a well-stocked arts & crafts creation area (in case you bring your kids at high tide or on a rainy day). All this inanition to the informative displays of shells, sea life, tide patters, etc

It was a Saturday, so we happened across the (free) musical performance on The Green. After plunking ourselves down on the grass to listen (the early arrivals were in the chairs provided) a staff/volunteer lady came by and offered us a blanket to sit on. As the music played she quietly approached the audience members offering sunscreen and cold bottles of water! What a thoughtful service!

National Parks administrators take note! Go to Fundy Trail Parkway and learn how an outdoor treasure should be administered for public participation!

You can always see the water along this newly constructed day use parkway. Speed limit is 40km/hr allowing for a leisurely drive and a chance to enjoy the views. Lots of look outs and observation decks. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy the views. There is a reasonable admission charge of $11/adult; $9/senior or a family rate of $34.

Arrived late afternoon. Park was only open for about 90 minutes.
Bought 2 adult tickets $22 with the promise of multiple look outs on Route we could visit in the time allowed.
What they did not tell us was the fog was in for the day and you could see nothing at all.
What a total scam. Very disappointed with the venue

Excellent spot for a lighter fundy experience. Traveling with our 10 month old, wanted easy hikes and drive options. Park had both! Friendly staff, loads of activities, amazing views of the bay. Recommend exploring and supporting this park, as well as the helpful crew at the Big Salmon Information Centre.

This was the highlight of our trip around New Brunswick. It is so well-maintained and you can spend the whole day here checking out different trails, observation decks, waterfalls and beaches. It can be a bit overwhelming because it is so big with so many options, but the website is very detailed and organized. They even have suggested routes for first time visitors depending on how many hours you have.

The interpretation centre is also a great place to stop - they have a gift shop, some historical displays, clean washrooms and a room showing a 8 minute video about the history of the area. They have daily special for hot meals although when we went this was not available (I think it is only available during high season - late June to August). They do sell things like drinks, chips, cookies, and ice cream bars. We had come prepared with our own snacks anyways, as we thought there would be no places to buy food in the park. The interpretation centre (and many of the lookout areas) have lots of picnic tables and it is also close to the suspension bridge, which is small but fun to walk over.

Aside from the sights and the trails, the road running through the park is well maintained and makes for a majestic drive!

We did this as a day trip from Saint John, stopping at St. Martin's on the way.

We spent 6 hrs here on a day that saw rain showers come and go but they did not deter a great visit. Well marked map was provided which led us to plan several hikes and beach walks. Beautiful waterfalls, views and beaches. Lots of places to pull over and park. Very clean and well maintained.

We happened upon this parkway by accident, so didn’t research or plan our visit in advance. It was the highlight of our trip to St. John. If you can, allow a full day to hike, drive and stop at many of the observation areas, falls, etc. So worth it. The web site is great in helping you plan your visit.

We arrived about 10:00 am and the park attendant told us the park closed at 5 pm. (winter hours). No problem, we thought - the drive is only 30 km. But we were wrong! There are so many stops and so many trails to walk. We took one trail and made it to Melvin Beach where we hunted for "wishing rocks," thanks to a tip from Linda at the St Martins Tourist Information! Every turn and every pull out had unbelievable vistas! We could have spent at least one more day! Beautiful!!

Walking the trails and seeing the spectacular views at some of the trails. Fuller Falls are one example of a short trail with a beautiful fall. You can go down several steps to get a better view.b
