Fundy National Park Of Canada — Attraction in New Brunswick

There are so many facets to rate a National Park on it seems impossible to give it one rating. Each National Park exists to preserve something specific about an area. Fundy preserves an area of Coast and Woodlands in a very beautiful part of the province. The trails are varied and interesting. You can take a long walk along the coast, a short waterfall hike if you wish with boardwalk and stairs, you can hike an inland pond that is a simple flat walk with some of loop wheel chair accessible. There are several waterfall hikes with some in and out and some loops. There is a 9 hole golf course and a beautiful salt water pool area. The main feature in this park for us is however the coast. Seeing the tides, and the rugged shoreline is beautiful.

I understand complaints about the camping. I have been camping in this park for literally decades. I understand the issues people have with costs. Adding the park entry fee on top of the campsite fee makes it expensive. You really must separate out that cost but even after doing that it is not the cheapest site. We have found the showers and restrooms adequate, but never outstanding in either their cleanliness or function. But we have certainly seen dirtier washrooms in private campgrounds. That being said there are some amazing private sites available. Being in one of these can dramatically change one's impression of their stay. There are also facilities that are newer than others which again would change one's perception. There are programs available, guided hikes, talks, a wonderful show at the Molly Cool house ( which has an extra cost ).

Despite the lack luster campground rating I still want to rate this park a 5. We always have dealt with wonderfully friendly and accommodating staff ( some however seemed to struggle with speaking English ). If we have had issues with quiet hours not being enforced when we approached the booth that was manned 24 hours they did come out and address the issue. But what keeps us returning each and every single year is the sheer natural beauty of the area. Do some hikes, visit the picnic areas. Drive through the Point Wolfe covered bridge, at least hike the Dickson Falls trail. Enjoy the beautiful unspoiled New...

Fundy Nat'l Park is well worth the visit for the wonderful scenery and hiking, which are themselves worth five stars. HOWEVER, Fundy's Visitor Services have proven extremely disappointing. We were hiking Dickson Falls one week ago when a rotten piece of planking fell out from under me on the first bridge of the trail. My whole left leg fell through to my upper thigh, scraping along the broken wood. Thankfully, I was wearing thick leggings that remained in tact and protected my skin (for the most part). Nevertheless, it was extremely painful and I have suffered extreme bruising across my whole thigh and a hematoma. When we brought this to the attention of Visitor Services after leaving the trail, it felt like there was little concern for the situation and there was no offer of assistance for my injuries until I asked for ice as we were leaving the building. I then emailed a follow-up, to ensure that they had addressed the broken plank, and while the Visitor Services Supervisor assured me they prioritized fixing the bridge, he offered no acknowledgment of my injuries or sympathy/empathy for the ordeal (even though I had sent pictures of my extensive bruising). I realize that when you go hiking, there is assumed personal risk, however, this is a bridge that should be well maintained by the Parks service and hikers should not have to worry about falling through old, compromised planking. At the very least, the SUPERVISOR of Visitor Services should have extended some basic human decency and apologized or at least acknowledged the injuries that occurred while within his park. I'm glad they 'fixed' the bridge, but the health and wellbeing of their hikers need to start coming first. If you don't prevent this from happening again, at least be apologetic and helpful when someone else reports another incident... Please do...
