RUGGED BAY OF FUNDY COAST

The Fundy Footpath

A strenuous wilderness journey above beaches, brooks and the extraordinary tides of the Bay of Fundy.

COASTAL BACKCOUNTRY

An experience to plan carefully.

The Footpath connects the Fundy Trail Provincial Park area near St. Martins to the boundary of Fundy National Park. Together with park approaches, the association’s safety guide describes a 64.3 km journey. The wilderness trail alone is measured differently by various providers. Always confirm the route and distances using current guides.

Multi-day adventure

Plan roughly four or more days, weather and ability depending.

Tidal crossings

Goose Creek and other crossings may become impassable. Consult official tide tables.

Steep & remote

Repeated climbs, water crossings and irregular phone service demand preparation.

Decades in the making

Jack McKay blazed early sections in the 1980s. The Léger brothers and later FHTA volunteers helped reopen and extend the route. Ongoing stewardship preserves a remarkable coastal wilderness experience.

A remarkable trail deserves respect.

Plan tides, campsites and park permits before hiking.
