General presentation
Parc national Fundy et Alma
Falaise, Acadian forests and extreme tides meet around the coastal village of Alma.
To understand what Fundy and Alma National Park is, you must look at Fundy National Park, Dickson Falls and Coastal Trail. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the coastline, forests, riverscapes and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national Fundy
Fundy National Park concentrates the energy of the bay: spectacular tides, cliffs, humid forests and cascading waterfalls. The trails move from a moss-covered stream to a coastal lookout, while the shoreline changes completely from open high seas to muddy bottoms.
Waterfall
Chutes Dickson
Dickson Falls is discovered by a short, cool, shaded loop, between wooden footbridges, ferns and mousse-covered walls. The water descends into a narrow ravine, offering an accessible tour that contrasts with the great sea views of Fundy Park.
Place indismissible
Sentier du littoral
The Sentier du littoral Follows the wooded reliefs that dominate the Bay of Fundy, with sudden openings on the water and rocky coves. The walk makes the passage between forest and sea feel: wet roots under the feet, saline smell, bird screams and changing light depending on the tide.
Place indismissible
Alma
Alma lives at the pace of the Bay of Fundy, between dock, seafood restaurants and boats laid on the mud at low tide. The village serves as an entrance door to the National Park, but it retains its own coastal village flavour where one watches the water ascend and descend from the main street.
