Fundy National Park

Caution

  • Keep in mind that your safety is your own responsibility.
  • Using closed trails increases your risk of serious injury as they are not maintained. Orientation may be difficult and natural hazards can occur. Hikers should always remain on marked trails.
  • Plan ahead, follow signage instructions, and always be prepared. It’s important to note that search and rescue capacity may be limited, could take a long time, and cell phone coverage is not available everywhere in the park.
  • Consult our Visitor safety web site for more information.

Whether you’re out for a leisurely hike or a longer adventure, make your trip a safe one by checking the latest conditions.

You can also contact the Visitor information centre for the most up to date information.

We recommend submiting a trip plan using AdventureSmart so that someone can check to make sure you arrive safe.
