Hiking for everyone

Hiking for everyone

Ready to hit the trail? Saint John offers a variety of great hiking experiences – many of them accessible to all skill levels. Seven trails at the Irving Nature Park take you past tidal pools, salt marshes, bogs, beaches and the Fundy coastal forest – either on foot, or by car on the low-speed auto loop. At Rockwood Park you’ll find more than 50km of all-season trails, allowing you to experience the park during the glorious Spring and Summer months, but also during the Fall, when the forest turns into a brilliant canopy of red, yellow, and gold – and in the colder months, when it becomes a Winter wonderland. Just 15 minutes from the city, there are many other hiking opportunities, including historic Mispec Park, with 5km of ocean-side and forested hiking trails. And no list of New Brunswick trails would be complete without mentioning the exquisite Fundy Trail. With trails ranging from beginner to expert, the Fundy Trail offers everyone the chance to experience the beauty of the secluded Fundy forest, breathtaking vistas of steep cliffs and tumbling rivers, and the amazing power of the Bay of Fundy tide. A hike on the Fundy trail is a ruggedly beautiful New Brunswick experience that is simply not to be missed.
