Fundy Trail Provincial Park hugs the Bay of Fundy coast from 3 Fundy Trail Parkway in Salmon River. The official NB Parks page describes a 6,323-acre park with a 30 km scenic drive, an interpretive centre, coastal lookouts, beaches, waterfalls, and trail connections near St. Martins, Saint John, and Sussex.
This is one of New Brunswick's strongest road-trip parks because the drive, overlooks, shoreline stops, and trails can fit a short visit or a longer coastal day. NB Parks lists more than 35 km of hiking and biking trails and more than 20 coastal lookouts, so the park works for visitors who want views without committing to the full Fundy Footpath.
Fundy Trail also has more demanding terrain. The official trail notes describe Walton Glen Gorge routes, Long Beach loops, Big Salmon River trails, and links toward the Fundy Footpath. NB Parks also notes that the suspension bridge at Big Salmon River is closed for renovations this season, which should shape any plan tied to that trailhead.
Plan around the scenic parkway, coastal lookouts, Big Salmon River, waterfalls, beaches, biking, short walks, technical gorge trails, the McCumber Brook wetlands, and Fundy Footpath research. The mix is wide, but trail difficulty varies sharply.
For a gentler day, prioritize the parkway lookouts and interpretive centre before choosing a named trail.
Confirm the Big Salmon River bridge closure, trailhead parking, current access, parkway hours, weather, shoreline conditions, hiking difficulty, footwear, passes, maps, and safety notices through NB Parks before travelling.
