Along the shores, in the water and soaring overhead, observe the routines of the Bay of Fundy's local wildlife. See sandpipers and plovers dashing over the mudflats, white-tailed deer having a sip of water from brooks and lakes or maybe a moose rising from a marshland sleep. Up above gaze at the impressive acrobatics of ospreys, bald eagles, and peregrine falcons. To view sea mammals and seabirds playing in their cold, water home, take a delightful nature cruise.
To experience the pristine environment surrounding the Bay of Fundy, explore the expansive wilderness of Fundy National Park, travel the Fundy Trail Parkway to formerly unreachable coastal areas, inspect the old-growth forests and steep ravines of Cape Chignecto Provincial Park or visit Brier Island to appreciate its wealth of wildflowers, orchids and the endangered Eastern Mountain Avens.
Fundy National Park Fundy National Park is the place where the Caledonia Highlands meet the fog-generating Bay of Fundy. New Brunswick's first national park, Fundy's shore is altered daily by the bay's giant tides. Fundy National Park is home to over 260 species of birds, a variety of amphibians and reptiles and just about forty species of mammals. Go hiking (hiking trails range from simple, short loops to long 50km circuits), biking (on one of six bicycle trails) or take a pleasant swim at Bennett or Wolfe Lake. Or perhaps consider taking part in a geocaching adventure.
Fundy Trail Parkway Situated just outside the fishing town of St. Martins, the Fundy Trail Parkway allows its visitors to explore formerly unreachable coastal areas and some of the last remaining coastal wilderness between Florida and Newfoundland. Learn of the community's rich past in logging, fishing and shipbuilding, spot plant, marine and wildlife in their natural habitats, witness the ebb and flow of world's highest tides and enjoy totally striking scenery. The Fundy Trail offers paved vehicle parkways, cycling and walking trails and stairways to untouched beaches.
Cape Chignecto Provincial Park Comprised of 600-foot towering cliffs, 18 kilometres of spotless coastline, steep trenches and old-growth forests, Cape Chignecto Provincial Park is found on the Western end of the Avalon Eco-Zone along the Bay of Fundy. Not only is the park an excellent spot to study the tides, as they continuously lap at the base of the cliffs, Cape Chignecto is home to a couple of the province's most significant geological deep valleys, 8 superb hiking trails of varying difficulty, rare plantlife, dramatic views and rich cultural heritage.
Brier Island Two short ferry rides from Digby Neck will bring you to one of Nova Scotia's best eco-destinations, Brier Island. Brier Island is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, twisting coastal hiking trails, 2 interesting lighthouses and is good spot to embark on various sea journeys. Brier Island, situated on the Atlantic Flyway, is also a brilliant place for bird watching, particularly during fall migration.
