Hiking is one of the most popular activities in Fundy National Park and, with over 100 kilometres of trails, there's bound to be something for everyone. Fundy's trails range from easy half-kilometre loops to a demanding 50-kilometre circuit around the park.
The key to a safe, memorable hike is advance planning. A sweater and windbreaker are good insurance against Fundy's variable weather, and we recommend footwear with good traction and support, such as running shoes or lightweight boots. Please pack out what you pack in and avoid heavy lug-soled boots as they tear up the park's shallow soils.
The Fundy Circuit
Want to see Fundy's hidden treasures? Then gear up and hike the Fundy Circuit. The Circuit is a 48-kilometre network of seven linked hiking trails that takes you through river valleys, past lakes, along the coast and through beautiful forests. The trip takes between three and five days to complete. There are two wilderness campsites (for which you must pre-register) and two campgrounds along the way. It's best to hike the Circuit so that the Upper Salmon trail is the last leg of your journey.
The Fundy Challenge
We challenge you to hike 100 kilometres in Canada's national parks! The Fundy Challenge is a project sponsored by the Fundy Guild. It imposes no time limit for reaching this goal, so day-hikers can participate as easily as avid backpackers. You only have to walk ten kilometres in Fundy. The rest can be completed in any national park. Record each hike in your official hiking log (available at park kiosks and information centres, and the Fundy Guild Bookshop) and have it initialled by a park employee. Participation is free, but you'll have to pay $6.00 + tax for the pin you receive once you have reached your goal. This fee covers mailing costs plus the tags you can add to your pin as you complete each additional 100 kilometres.
