Hike to Blue Falls & Healy Brook Falls
Middleton, Nova Scotia
0.9 mi
The trails are easy to find. The river goes underneath an overpass and both trails, on the other side. The paths are both easy to walk through. A beginner would have no problems. However, if you are bringing along children just watch out for the cliff drop alongside the path when going to Healy Falls. I would not suggest letting dogs off leash until you reach the bottom.If you go to the right, ...
Hike to Haunted Falls & Black Hole Falls
Canning, Nova Scotia
2.5 mi
This isn't much of trail so be prepared to bushwhack. If you pull over at the end of Old Baxters Harbour Road, you'll see a sign and a map outline of the trails. You just have to follow the stream, go right you get to Black Hole Falls, and go left you get to Haunted Falls and the shore.To get to Haunted Falls, there is a small rock climb. The ropes are already there and are secure but you can a...
Explore St. Martins's Sea Caves
Bay View, New Brunswick
1.2 mi
/ 38 ft gain
The sea caves are one of the main (if not the main) attractions in the small coastal town of St. Martins. They are free to visit and are located at the far end of the village where you can easily spot them from the road. Park in the restaurant parking lot or leave your car by the side of the road, being careful not to block incoming traffic.
Like most of the water-related activities by the Bay...
Hike Cape Split Trail
Canning, Nova Scotia
5.0
9.9 mi
This is a Nova Scotia classic and a well-known hike. The trailhead has been recently upgraded by the province so parking is no longer a major concern. There is a nice picnic area at the parking lot, but I recommend hauling your lunch to the point - it is a much more scenic picnic spot!The trail starts in the woods, with a few sneak-peek views off the sides of the trail, but the real money is th...
Amethyst Cove

6.2 mi
/ 500 ft gain
You start by going on the same trail that you would if you were doing the Cape Split hike but not far in the woods you turn right and follow the orange flags. The hike itself is maybe 20 minutes uphill and then you come to the decent down the cliff that will take you to the shore. At the top there's a bucket full of gloves people have left there in case you forgot your own! The ropes are secure...

1 mi
/ 98.4 ft gain
Every day during the summer, Dickson Falls in Fundy National Park, sees many hikers, families and tour busses passing by. The short hike is perfectly adapted to children and groups and it is very well maintained. Half of the trail consisted of a four feet wide boardwalk with stairs (a lot of stairs) and railings. On the first intersection onto the trail, take a left for the longer and more inte...
Hike to Chutes Third Vault
Alma, New Brunswick
5.0
4.6 mi
/ 500 ft gain
The hike begins as a flat path through dense forest. About 1.5 miles in, the trail steepens to go almost straight down. There are several manmade steps to make it a bit easier. Near the bottom you walk through the river a bit until turning a corner to see the gorgeous, cascading falls on your left. We happened to have the entire place to ourselves which made an already magical place even better...
Hike Upper Salmon River
Alma, New Brunswick
8.1 mi
/ 1312.3 ft gain
We suggest you bring a few friends and drive to Fundy National Park with two cars. Leave one car at the park headquarters near Alma and drive up to the Laverty falls parking lot where you will start your hike. If you only have one car and wish to do an out-and-back hike, start at headquarters.
First part: The Forks
The hike starts at the Laverty Falls parking lot. There will most likely be a l...
