one side by the rugged coastline of Barnaby Head. During camping season the park
charges a $7 fee per vehicle for day use, which includes parking at the beach and Barn-
aby Head trailhead.
You can spend an enjoyable few hours hiking Barnaby Head along a 6km network of
nature trails. The Chittick's Beach Trail leads through coastal forest and past four coves,
where you can check the catch in a herring weir or examine tidal pools for marine life.
Extending from this loop is the 2.5km Barnaby Head Trail , which hugs the shoreline
most of the way and rises to the edge of a cliff 15m above the Bay of Fundy.
The park's campground ( 506-755-4042; [e-mail]; 78 New River Beach Rd; camp-
sites/RV sites $22/24.50; May-Sep) is across the road from the beach and features 100
secluded sites, both rustic and with hookups, in a wooded setting. Drawbacks are the
gravel emplacements and traffic noise.
FUNDY ISLES
The thinly populated, unspoiled Fundy Isles are ideal for a tranquil, nature-based escape.
With grand scenery, colorful fishing wharves tucked into coves, supreme whale-watch-
ing, uncluttered walking trails and steaming dishes of seafood, the islands will make your
everyday stresses fade away and your blood pressure ease. The three main islands each
have a distinct personality and offer a memorable, gradually absorbed peace. Out of the
summer season, all are nearly devoid of visitors and most services are shut.
