Third Vault Falls

Hiking area

👍👍 Great hike. Not too challenging at the beginning but the decent to the falls makes this trail a black diamond. Make sure you follow the stream which is part of the trail to reach the actual falls. You will see an end of trail sign at the falls.

Split Rock Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 This trail is un-f'ing-believable! It's easily one of my favourite hikes of all time in Canada. Everybody that raved about it was right to. It hits so many aspects of an amazing hike - scenery, wildlife, uniqueness throughout, and solid exercise. All close to Saint John. Just go do it and experience...

Ministers Island

Tourist attraction

👍👍 This was neat to drive across the bar and see the Van Horne Estate's buildings. We went back in the evening to take pictures with the tide up. We didn't have time to do any trails. If I'm ever back this way I'll cross as soon as possible to have time to hike some trails.

Point Prim

Hiking area

👍 Great views, pity the trails are very short. Lighthouse nothing spectacular.

Sussex Bluff Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 This trail never disappoints. We take our kids on the trail, or great if you want to take in a quick hike with adult friends. Gets your blood pumping enough to know you are on a hike but very approachable for anyone. There are a few different braids in the trail, all lead to the top. We like to go u...

New River Beach Nature Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 Went for a very nice hike here last week with my wife. The trail is definitely for beginners with little changes in elevation. There is one area that has good inclines, but there are stairs built in those spots making it much easier. There are scenic stops along the way and the option for two differ...

Welsford Falls

Hiking area

👍👍 One of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen! Not an immensely challenging hike, but possibly not ideal for those with limited mobility as there are portions of the trail where you need to crawl over rocks.

4.80 (173 reviews) (~29.33 km from centre)

Walton Glen Gorge Falls

Hiking area

👍 Wonderful hike. Please keep in mind that the trail directly down to the Eye of the Needle is very steep in sections so wear very good shoes with lots of grip. Hiking poles are also recommend. Bring a separate pair of water shoes to cross the stream to get to the eye. If you want to pass through the...

Parlee Brook Falls

👍👍 This one is really hard when it comes to bringing kids with you. Especially if you have to carry one. Couldn’t beat that one yet.

Pangburn and Melvin Beach and Cliffs - UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve Amazing Place

👍 You will want to visit on a clear day as the parkway offers many overlooks. Great trails and a nice drive are worth the small entrance fee. Take time to get down to the beaches, it's worth the walk.

Bald Peak trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 OK The hike was 8/10 on difficulty scale may be 7, if you twist my arm and say it is a relatively short hike 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️, keep in mind you need good hiking shoes 👟 especially if the trail is wet, full of big boulders and some twisted edges.. The view is almost 10/10 for images(few trees in the wa...

Wells Recreation Park

City park

👍👍 Wells is a pretty awesome park, with a lot of trails. You can literally stick to the main trail for a quick and easy hike, or take any of the side trails to add on some extra kilometers. Trails are generally well maintained, although some side trails can be a little soggy. They even groom the mai...
