8 Best Experiences In Canada’s Fundy National Park
7. Get Lost In The World Of Geocaching
Like many National Parks, Fundy has ample hiking trails, biking routes, and outdoor attractions. You could easily explore them in a logical fashion, exploring one trail at a time. But if you’re up for something different, geocaching might be the perfect way to explore the area. Geocaching combines hiking and treasure-seeking as participants aim to find hidden containers known as caches using their GPS coordinates. With 15 official geocaches within the park, there are plenty of challenges to keep explorers busy. Every year, staff create five new caches and retire the five oldest ones, so there’s always something new to discover.
8. Camp On Or Off The Grid
Fundy National Park has four traditional campgrounds and an additional eight backcountry campsites. The traditional sites offer amenities such as washrooms, showers, electrical, sewer, and water hookups.
The Cannontown site, in particular, is well worth checking out. Created with camper-style travelers in mind, all sites are fully serviced and have firepits. The playground, golf course, outdoor amphitheater, and many other amenities are nearby, and, best of all, some of the sites have views of the Bay of Fundy itself.
Pro Tip: Sleep In Something Other Than A Tent
If you’d like something a bit more luxurious than camping, Fundy National Park has you covered.
One option is an oTENTik. These structures are like a blend of a glamping tent and a rustic cabin and come complete with beds and basic furniture. Fundy has 30 oTENTiks, and some are pet friendly.
Another option is a yurt. With insulated walls and roof and a propane stove, yurts are warm and toasty on chilly nights but still offer great ventilation in summer. Fundy has five yurts in total, and one is pet friendly.
The most unusual option of all is the teardrop-shaped Oasis, which offers a convertible table and double bed combination on the main level. There’s also a suspended hammock loft reachable by a small ladder that can comfortably fit two kids.
Last but not least are the park’s rustic cabins. These basic yet warm cabins (there are three in total) are especially popular with winter visitors who enjoy their comforts after a day of snowshoeing or cross country skiing.
Regardless of which you chose, in the summer months, overnight guests can enjoy a swim at the park’s heated saltwater pool, which has lifeguards on staff.
