New Brunswick National Parks

New Brunswick has two national parks. Fundy National Park is famed for its high tides, the highest in the world and is located in the south eastern portion of the province.

Kouchibouguac Park is located on New Brunswick's central eastern shore in an area known as the Acadian Coastal Drive.

Fundy National Park – Fundy National Park of Canada encompasses some of the last remaining wilderness in southern New Brunswick. Here, the conifer dominated Caledonia Highlands roll down to meet the fog-generating Bay of Fundy.

The tidal fluctuation of the Bay of Fundy is the highest in the world. Watch fishing boats come and go to the rhythm of the bay. Inland, explore lush forests and deep stream valleys. During the summer of 2005, a tree along the coast of Fundy National Park was discovered to be at least 445 years old, the oldest documented Red Spruce on Earth. Parks Canada

Kouchibouguac National Park – Kouchibouguac is a fascinating mosaic of bogs, salt marshes, tidal rivers, sparkling freshwater systems, sheltered lagoons, abandoned fields and tall forests which characterizes the Maritime Plain Natural Region.

Natural wonders abound in this Park that boasts the second largest tern colony in North America. As well, the 25 kilometres of shifting sand dunes are home to the endangered piping plover and witness to colonies of both harbour and grey seals that frolic in the sunshine on certain sections of the dunes.
