New Brunswick holds two trips in one province. Inland, Mount Carleton Provincial Park protects the province’s high country, with 11 named trails listed by the province. On the Bay of Fundy coast, the tides reshape the shore twice a day — at Hopewell Rocks you walk the ocean floor at low tide and watch the same rocks stand in deep water a few hours later.
The province operates 12 provincial parks. This page introduces the province; each park’s own page carries its trails, camping, alerts, and land acknowledgement, verified park by park.

Start with these parks
Mount Carleton
The province’s rooftop: a mountain park of lakes and named summit trails.
Hopewell Rocks
Flowerpot rocks carved by the world’s highest tides; plan around the tide table, not the clock.
Good to know
Fundy shore visits are tide visits — always check the official tide table for the day you go. Park fees and season dates vary by park and are shown on each park’s page from the official source for that park.
