Traveling Huntleys

Fundy National Park

September 6, 2017 by Michael

On our way to Maine from Nova Scotia, we stopped at Fundy National Park in New Brunswick for a few nights.

Fundy National Park

Fundy National Park has 2 campgrounds, numerous hiking trails, a pool, mountain bike trails, kayaking, golf course, and is dog friendly. Fundy National Park RV Site

Our site was a pull through, 50 amp, 50 psi water pressure, and easy to level. Not much of a view and the privacy was ok. Next to the site was a hiking trail and recycle receptacles. Finally, squirrels for Jake to watch.

Dickson Falls Trail

Picture perfect Fundy National Park scenery. Dickson Falls is beautiful and peaceful. The well done trail, partially on a wooden platform, goes through a cool, lush, moss covered rocks, valley along the Dickson Brook. Its one of the most popular trails in the park because its an easy walk to a waterfall. It truly was a magical place.  This makes you think of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books.  It was THAT beautiful! The picture doesn’t do it justice.

Alma Lobster Shop

A rare albino lobster. They won’t eat it, but will either release it or donate it to an aquarium.

We ordered a few pounds of lobster with garlic and lemon butter, yum!

Octopus’ Garden Cafe

Octopus' Garden Sandy Huntley

Kind of a cafe during the day; then an amazing pasta restaurant at night. We had a stunning bottle of red blend from Spain with fresh made pasta that had scallops and chanterelle mushrooms. The owner/chef and staff were amazing and personable. We had a wonderful conversation with a couple from Ontario. He is in his doctorate studying bird hormones, and she is both a dental tech and yoga instructor.

Hopewell Rocks

Hopewell Rocks is north of Fundy National Park, about a 30 minute drive. Best time to visit is at low tide when the rocks are exposed, or somewhere in-between if kayaking. There were an insane number of tourists here, by the bus loads, but worth visiting.

Hopewell Rocks New Brunswick

The reddish cliffs were first formed millions of years ago when a massive mountain range eroded.  Over time, the eroded sediment compressed into solid rock, forming the basis for the flowerpot formations. The daily tidal action from the Bay of Fundy wears away at the bases of the cliffs and rock formations.  Tomorrow we are back in the USA!!!  Can’t wait for good food and wine again.
