New Brunswick · Provincial Park
Overview
At Hopewell Rocks, the Bay of Fundy tides do the carving. Twice a day the water rises and falls by metres, and the “flowerpot” rocks it has sculpted stand in the sea at high tide and on the ocean floor at low tide — where you can walk among them.
Trails
The walking here follows the shoreline: lookoffs above the rocks and, at low tide, the ocean floor itself. The tide table, not a trail map, sets this park’s schedule.
Camping
Hopewell Rocks is a day-use park; there are no campsites in the park.
Alerts
Tide safety is the rule of this park — visitors are cut off by the rising tide every year. Check the official tide table for the day of your visit and leave the shore well before the tide turns.
Indigenous & Culture
This park stands on lands subject to the Peace and Friendship Treaties between the Crown and the Wolastoqey, Mi’kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati peoples — treaties of peace and friendship that did not surrender land.
