LIMITED VISITOR ACCESS
AND BASIC SERVICES RESUME
AT FUNDY NATIONAL PARK
Starting June 1, 2020, Fundy National Park will offer
limited visitor access and basic services. Visitors will
be able to access the following services and facilities:
• Day-use trails including Caribou Plain, Kinnie
Brook, East Branch, Upper Salmon and the
network of trails in the Chignecto Recreation
Area including the pump track.
• Day-use spaces in the
Headquarters area including
the bowl, the soccer field
and the bluff, as well as
picnic areas at Kinnie Brook,
Bennett Lake and
Alma Beach.
• Washrooms only at the
Chignecto Pavilion, Salt and
Fir Centre, Bennett Lake
Change House, Caribou
Plain and Kinnie Brook
trailheads, and behind the
Visitor Reception Centre in
the Headquarters area.
Please note that the golf course
and swimming pool remain
closed until further notice. Trail
users should note that Laverty
and Point Wolfe roads remain closed to vehicle
access and, therefore, are not available as pick-up
options for hikers. Hikers who choose to access the
park from Dobson Trail or the Fundy Footpath should
be aware that their only hiking route options will
be longer than normal and they will need to make
alternate arrangements for pick-up.
All camping facilities remain closed until at least
June 21, 2020, while Parks Canada assesses whether
and how these services might resume. Group
activities and public events are suspended until
further notice.
Visitors are asked to plan ahead by checking the
park’s website before they travel to find out:
• what is open • what they can expect • how to
prepare for their visit.
The health and safety of visitors and employees
is of utmost importance to
the Government of Canada.
Parks Canada is following
the advice of public health
experts and continues to make
every effort to limit the spread
of COVID-19. Visitors should
follow the advice of public
health experts, including
necessary hygiene practices
and physical distancing of two
metres from others.
Parks Canada is asking
Canadians to be cautious
and conservative in their use
of Fundy National Park, to
observe any regional or New
Brunswick travel restrictions
and to respect any closures
that are in place. Anyone
participating in recreational activities should be extra
cautious to avoid injury and/or getting lost to help
minimize the demands placed on search and rescue
teams and on the health care system.
