Cape Chignecto Provincial Park

Cape Chignecto Provincial Park is a coastal park in Nova Scotia with cliffs rising up to 180 meters above the Bay of Fundy, crisscrossed by hiking trails through forested terrain. The park spans rugged coastal landscapes with varied ecosystems and remote coves to explore.

The park was established in 1998 to protect a coastal section that served as an important resource area for Indigenous peoples and early settlers over many centuries. This region has a long history of human use and adaptation to a challenging marine landscape.

The park connects visitors to Maritime Canadian outdoor traditions through its network of backcountry trails and camping sites across diverse natural environments.

The park is accessible through a network of hiking trails that start from well-marked entry points throughout the area. Visitors should prepare for changeable weather conditions and rugged coastal circumstances, especially when exploring exposed cliff areas.

The surrounding Bay of Fundy has the world's greatest tidal range, with water levels changing by up to 16 meters twice daily. This extreme tidal swing influences the landscape, wildlife, and the entire experience of exploring the coastline.
