'Discover the Fundy Trail Parkway: Scenic Coastal Route in New Brunswick, Canada'

The Fundy Trail Parkway
is a scenic coastal route located in New Brunswick, Canada, stretching from St. Martins to Fundy National Park. It offers breathtaking views of the Bay of Fundy, known for having the highest tides in the world.

The origins of the Fundy Trail Parkway can be traced back to the vision of Mitchel Franklin, a resident of St. Martins. Franklin, a local businessman and nature enthusiast, dreamt of creating a roadway that would allow people to experience the natural beauty of the Fundy coast while preserving the region's pristine environment.

In the early 1980s, Franklin began advocating for the development of the trail. He envisioned a route that would provide access to the stunning cliffs, waterfalls, and rugged landscapes along the Fundy coastline, which were previously inaccessible to the public. Franklin believed that by showcasing the area's natural wonders, it would not only benefit tourism but also foster a sense of appreciation and conservation for the environment.

Franklin's dream gained momentum when a group of local residents and officials formed the Fundy Trail Development Authority (FTDA) in 1994. The FTDA worked tirelessly to secure funding and support for the project, collaborating with various levels of government and community organizations.

The construction of the Fundy Trail Parkway began in 1998 and was completed in stages over the years. The route was designed to minimize environmental impact, with boardwalks, observation decks, and picnic areas integrated into the natural surroundings. The trail provides access to stunning viewpoints, such as the Big Salmon River Estuary and the famous Fundy Footpath, a challenging coastal hiking trail.

The development of the Fundy Trail Parkway faced several challenges along the way, including funding constraints and environmental considerations. However, with the perseverance and dedication of Mitchel Franklin and the FTDA, the project gradually came to fruition.

Today, the Fundy Trail Parkway stands as a testament to Mitchel Franklin's vision and the efforts of many individuals who worked to make it a reality. It has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a unique and immersive experience in the unspoiled beauty of the Bay of Fundy region.

I like all the different aerial pathways you took to show the area. The pedestrian suspension bridge looks like fun, too.

The Fundy Trail Parkway has certainly changed and many improvements have been made over the years for sure. Been a long time since I've been there, but still looks good along that shoreline! Enjoy! Bruce and Otis
