Bay of Fundy National Park – July 8

After another restful night we are up and are ready to explore the Fundy Trail Parkway not far from the National Park. In a previous journey to this area we heard about a beautiful drive along the rugged coastline in a park like setting. At that time it was a three hour drive to gain access to this parkway, but Wells had read that just this year a connector road coming from the National Park to the Fundy Parkway was completed. This scenic drive was our destination for today. Asking one seasonal park worker did not yield any useful information. She could not even tell us how to access the connector road. At the Visitor Center they directed us to the correct path and off we went. First there is the 20 km through the National Park then a left onto the brand new connector road, then after another20 km left onto another new road and after a few km we find ourselves along the coastal highway.

The Fundy Trail Parkway it reminds us of the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton in Nova Scotia. Now Cape Breton is certainly more mountainous but still this reminds us of there. We’ll post photographs once we have better wifi.
