So I'll start by saying if you come at the wrong time, this attraction is probably 2 or 3 stars. If…read moreyou come at the right time, it's a solid 4 stars (maybe 5 if you add in the marine life). We took a cruise excursion that took us here first thing off the boat, unfortunately nothing was reversing so it was like ok a big body of water and a paper mill. We went about our tour and on the way back to the ship, I guess we had some extra time, so we went back by the falls. This time, it was reversing!! Definitely a very unique thing to see. Keep your eyes open for cute little sea animals (seals, otters, etc).

This is a place you want to visit twice on the same day. We went in the morning to see the tide…read moregoing out, then came back 6 hours later to watch the tide coming in. The pulp mill in the pictures has been set up to be green. It emits almost no smell and cleans the water before it goes back into the harbor. Depending on the number of tour buses, this can be one of your busiest stops. I suggest taking a video each visit so you can really see the difference between the tides.

Nice place to keep track of the tide in the Bay of Fundy…read more The restaurants and bars make it bearable. Great if you cannot make it out to the nature area to see the tides roll in.

This review is from two points of view, tourist and disability access…read more As with anything within the Fundy area, please take into effect weather and tides The cost was about $9 plus tax and it was good for one day only (other places offer two day passes) This places serves two venues, driving touring and hiking tourist. For the hiking touring, this place is probably your dream come true. The day I as here, the visibility was nill at best. I did go down to one view point where I could somewhat make out a rock formation with a tree on it. They call it a flower pot. The rest of the drive, was just that a drive due to lack of visibility. On my way back the fog lifted enough that I could make cliffs and rocky bottom... I will say that the signage in the page is poor. You come to a lookout for a beach, and to take the trail down you don't know whether to take the trail to the left or right from the lookout. Also unlike other Fundy locations, the signage in regards to the trails (difficulty etc) was poor as well. Never found the beach below. Disability access... yes there are boardwalk spots and boardwalk lookouts... but to get to them is another story! Wheelchair access from my point of view is little to none. For the walking impaired, there are stairs everywhere and some that gave a new level of difficulty. not just to me but also a service dog.... I'm not really impressed, but I did get some good pictures with the receding fog... I recommend thinking twice, if not a third time regarding this place... I look forward to what others have to say about this place. Parking was ample. Staff... saw some but there was no interaction (they were mowing) and the lady at the gate was not what I would call pleasant.

This was amazing!! Highly recommend this tour whether you're on a cruise ship or just chugging…read morealong through Canada. Moderate Hike and got to see some of the harbor and industrial side of Canada from the high point. Boat pup - Paulie - was a great addition chasing out the deer so that we got to see two sightings an older female and a baby running through the woods. There were some great small blueberries and cranberries too. Yellow mushrooms - dont eat those! After a little less than 1.5 hr hike through a small piece of Rockwood Park we were able come back to base and kayak, canoe, paddle boat, or bike boat on Lily Lake. If you have time you can grab a quick snack at the restaurant right on the water. Beautiful place to sit outside on a sunny day and just soak up some nature. Wildlife in the area - raccoons, moose, deer, insects, porcupine, skunks, birds, Canadian geese, etc.

"The Rez" is my favourite place to enjoy the day with my family…read more Offers a supervised freshwater beach, a playground, picnic tables and hiking trails. There is so much to do! There is a wide, gravel trail (wheelchair accessible just make sure someone able to push through- took grandma & loved it) going around the entire rez (3.4KM) but off this main gravel trail is 2 dozen trails (no official map, just have to look for the openings!) My favourite trail we call "beaver trail" - named because you pass a beaver dam! (have never seen a beaver but always have my camera ready...) To get to the beaver trail: Go clockwise. The opening is 3 minutes after you start on the gravel trail - its wide enough for 1 person so bring your carrier. Also, I've been temped to let my dogs off leash in these trails but one day I came across 2 poripines (they left us alone and we left them alone, no harm) but from then on will not let me doggies off leash (as the sign states lol) There are lots of beaches as well! To get to the best private beach people bring their poochies to: Go clockwise around trail. When you come to bridge take the trail to the right (along the water) There will be other small trails leading off but keep going straight and you come to a beautiful beach. Get out, enjoy and make your own family map of the trails you discover

This beach was one that I won't ever forget!…read more Black sand between your toes was pretty awesome, and the salt water rising let you know that time was passing just as sure as grains of sand fall in an antique egg timer. This was a fantastic stopover on our trip to St. John from Moncton. I have no idea how to get to it though, so you'll have to figure that out for yourself. I was the driver and not the navigator to this hidden gem of a destination. This beach is at the end of a curvy, and hilly gravel road without much for signage. It is on private land, I believe owned by a hydro company, and if there is maintenance, there isn't much of it. There is no garbage container, washrooms or outhouse. Just a small gravel parking lot and a hand written sign on a rock tell you the name of it. As well there is a plaque explaining how the area is protected as a valuable ecosystem. The beach depth varies as the tides go in and out, 12 hours a day so keep that in mind when you park it on the sand for the day. Since the tide was coming in while we were there, panic ensued as my friend's phone and dress were underwater before we realized they were missing. Whoops, there's the phone under a foot of water lol. The swimming here was great! Remember to change into your suit before going or you might be giving other swimmers a show. Nice salty water keeping you riding high in the waves with inherent buoyancy and no nasty rocks under the depths to harsh your beach buzz. The black sand is more of a charcoal colour, and with white rocks sticking out, makes for stunning views and memorable photos. Highly recommended when craving a salt-water swim!

They have winter activities too. You do want to make sure to check for ticks when you're all done according to their website so be mindful.

The first half this direction is a little hillier, and there are lots of spur trails out to scenic overlooks. Once you get to the overlooking ok, there is a nice bench to sit on, and steps up to an observation platform. Then you continue on a flat, wheelchair accessible trail to the parking lot.
