Starting Location: Park at P8. Facing the river, proceed to your left along the river. Walk under the Mitchell Franklin Bridge on the Suspension Bridge Trail. Cross the suspension bridge and you will see the sign for the trail head. Follow the footpath to your right. If your vehicle is remaining in the parkway overnight, please display a dated parking pass, available at all Kiosks, Big Salmon River Interpretive Center and Walton Glen Reception Center.
The Fundy Footpath (recently listed in the “50 Best Hikes in the World by Explore Magazine) is separate from the Fundy Trail Parkway although part of it does fall within our park. The footpath is a challenging wilderness trail that starts at the suspension bridge at Big Salmon River and hugs the coastline to the boundaries of Fundy National Park. Four to five days is recommended. The distance for this trail is measured for one way.

A footpath kit may be purchased from our website or at the interpretive centre.
General admission is required to enter the parkway, find our daily or seasonal rates at: https://fundytrailparkway.com/about/rates/
