Fundy National Park protects a wonderland of lush Acadian forests, rugged sandstone cliffs, and pristine beaches. The park is set at the northern tip of the Bay of Fundy and is famous for bearing the highest tides in the world. The phenomenon is generated by the dramatic length, depth, and narrow shape of the bay, though First Nations legend says the tides are triggered by the tail-thrashing motion of a mythical whale. An extensive network of hiking trails makes exploring the park on foot a pleasure. You'll also find scenic lookouts, picturesque picnic spots, and recreation facilities such as a golf course and outdoor swimming pool.
