Caves at Saint Martins, New Brunswick

Fundy Trails Parkway view of Fundy Bay

Covered bridge, Saint Martins, New Brundswick


Friday 9/12/08 Fredericton to St. Martins

Its foggy this morning and 49 degrees outside. We plan to move down to Saint John and St. Martins along the coast. The fog cleared off about 10am and it warmed up a bit. We had a nice drive to Saint John. We stopped at the visitor’s center then continued on to St. Martins. The Camp ground overlooks the Fundy bay and you can see Nova Scotia across the bay. We went to the caves since the tide was almost out then went for a drive on the new Fundy Trail Parkway. Only 7 miles of the 30 are open but it was a nice drive. It will be a pretty drive once it is full developed. There is a walking trail that takes 4 days to complete. In the bay of Fundy, the tides can be as much as 50 feet with a full moon. This is at Hopewell hill, about 50 miles north. The tides here are not as high, but dramatic just the same. We will go to Hopewell when we leave here. He caves have water in them at high tide.
