    Fantastic trails for hiking, well marked, well maintained Had I knew more about this I would have planned more of my trip around this spot rather places like Hopewell Rocks that disappointed me. Shiphaven Trail was the first one we went to directly after crossing the red covered bridge Lovely views I recommend anyone planning a Maritimes trip to consider the trails they vary is difficulty from
    Easy to Hard and are lovely

    While seeing what the Bay of Fundy had to offer, my husband and I stopped here for a hike. The road was closed as we were not in season, but a parking lot is outside the gate, and you're able to walk on the road which takes about 20 minutes to the trail. The trail featured a loop -- some of it is currently closed and under construction, though you can view the biggest attraction of the trail stlll. The attraction was a beautiful waterfall that trickled down. Fundy National Park called this trail moderate. It does have stairs to the falls, but we did not find this trail difficult.

    The best thing about this campground is its location. It’s within walking distance of Alma and the Bay of Fundy. It’s been around awhile and shows it’s age but when our sewer hookup didn’t work, they refunded that night’s stay and fixed it the next day (we arrived late on Sunday afternoon). The staff were very friendly and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

    The trail to this beach is closed but if you can find a way to get to the beach at low tide, it is a great beach to visit. A combination of sand and rock with views of cliffs, a covered bridge and the ocean.

    Just over 100 stairs take you to this beach which is a must see on every trip to Fundy. Lots of beach to walk at low tide.Rocky but fairly smooth.

    This 5.2 k trail winds its way through dense woods and crosses several creeks. An old copper mine is at the mid point. It is a very rugged climb to see the old mine but if necessary, there is by pass that can be taken. The second part of the trail follows the cliff edge with fantastic views of the bay of Fundy and the water below. It took us 2.5 hrs to complete this trail.

    While in Fundy National Park, my husband and I hiked this trail. It's an easy trail and not too steep. We took 45 minutes to complete the hike. It also has a smaller boardwalk loop that takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Despite the name, this trail has not had any caribou since 1907. It does have moose and beavers of which we did not see any. It also has a bog to view and moss.

    In a previous review on Cape Breton Highlands National Park's Highlands Links course I described how Stanley Thompson, Canada's foremost golf course architect, was commissioned to build a series of golf courses in national parks from 1924 through 1948 resulting in a legacy that is now recognized as a national treasure. Three of these courses, Jasper Park, Banff Springs and Highlands Links are in the top ten in Canada and people come from around the world to play them. Often overlooked is the nine hole course Stanley designed in Fundy National Park, which is a shame because among nine hole courses it is rated by many as the best in Canada.

    Unlike its big brothers in Jasper, Banff and Cape Breton, modesty is the watchword at Fundy Golf Course, starting with this minuscule pro shop. There is a dichotomy between the big three and Parks Canada's other golf courses which translates directly into course conditioning. Jasper Park and Banff Springs are part of the Fairmont resort system while Highlands Links is affiliated with Keltic Lodge, owned by multimillionaire Jim Balsillie. These courses are administered and maintained by those organizations, while the other Parks Canada courses have to compete for budget dollars with all the other amenities that the populace expects from our national park system. Ok, I'll stop beating around the bush - Fundy Golf Course is starved for money to keep it in the condition that Stanley Thompson would have expected when he designed the course.

    The first is as dramatic a starting hole as you are going to find anywhere. You can from the photo included that the fairway is very burned with few green pathes . But you know what, poor conditioning is not going to overly detract from a great design, just as great conditioning won't gloss over a poor design. Now to be fair, in reading reviews of Fundy Golf Course on Trip Advisor from 2016 through 2018, nobody commented adversely on the state of the fairways and most said the course was well maintained so I am going to assume that the super dry summer of 2020 was largely responsible for the shape of the fairways.

    The greens were in much better shape than the fairways and are notable for their minuscule size. Thompson has made full use of the natural rolling terrain and there are a number of elevated tees and elevated greens. The 240 yard par three has to be the longest from the whites in the country.

    All round this is a great course that is having difficulty living up to its reputation due to conditioning issues. Still I would highly recommend it.
