The Magnificent Fundy Trail Parkway
Le magnifique parc du sentier Fundy
Paul Gaudet Greetings and welcome to the annual rebirth of autumn . It is going to be great to experience the cool nights and crisp days after the hot and humid summer we have enjoyed or for some , endured .
One of our province ’ s finest assets in terms of spectacular , natural beauty is the Fundy Trail which starts just outside St . Martins and winds its way along the Fundy coast for 30 Kilometres . It consists of a purpose-built parkway that encompasses many spectacular seascape outlooks that rival any in the world .

The Magnificent Fundy Trail Parkway
There are 19 trails which make up a distance of 35 kms . You can hike and walk on all of them and bike on many of them and that does not include the famous wilderness trail known as the Fundy Footpath . I have had the pleasure to hike on virtually all of these trails and they are all impressive in one way or another .
Hiking or biking not for you ? You
can simply drive from one lookout to another . There are ample parking spaces along the entire route in order to appreciate the mindblowing sights below . The cliffs seem to fold into one another as you drive along the coast . Some of my favourite lookouts are the Big Salmon River Lookout , the Hairpin Turn Lookout and the Melvin Beach Lookout . There are also several waterfalls such as : Fuller Falls ( one of the best ) along with McLeod Brook Falls ( be prepared for a long descent by rope block steps ) and Long Beach Brook Falls .
Are there other things to do ? Of course , you can visit the Cookhouse Heritage Mill , the interpretive centre , the Sea Captain ’ s Burial Ground or just picnic at the Green Picnic Area or the fine facilities at Long Beach .
Keep in mind that the park has extended their hours of operation until October 20th this year , recognizing that more and more guests are travelling in the autumn season .
Noteworthy is that the connecting road ( phase 3 ) from the Parkway to Sussex Corner will be finished in the fall of 2019 and open for travel in the spring of 2020 . The connector road to Fundy National Park ( phase 4 ) will be finished in the fall of 2020 and open to the public in the spring of 2021 . When these connectors are finished it will enable the Parkway to achieve its full potential .
If you are looking for something to do this fall then do yourself a favour and head out to visit the Fundy Trail Parkway , I promise that you will find its beauty nothing short of breathtaking .
