The Village of Alma is the
gateway to Fundy National Park.
Here you'll find places to stay,
eat, and stock up on supplies.
 |
Where once an old gas station
stood, the village has constructed a
small park and parking area. |

Originally a village dedicated to
ship building and lumber export, Now
Alma hosts local fishermen who fish lobster and scallops, and the many tourists
who visit each year |
|
| Two general stores, restaurants,
gift shops, motels, a bed & breakfast, an Inn, a hotel, and a bake
shop serve visitors to the area. In the busy summer season be sure to book early, it's a popular place. |

Alma beach is a great beach for rock hounding. When the tide is
out you can walk out to a large sandbar which still holds back a fairly large tidal pool,
you can get more than your feet wet here. In the background of the photo at right you can
see Owls head, a high rock face, here the odd fossil can be viewed by interested visitors.
But watch yourself, when the tide starts to come in, keep your eye on where you are
or you might get caught with more water than you know what to do with.

The Upper Salmon river runs down from the highlands to a beautiful
grassland area just at the entrance to the park. From the headquarters campground in
the park, a trail leads you to an area of the river that's great for swimming. Other
trails like "The Black Hole", "Third Vault Falls" and "The
Forks" take you to the upper areas of the river where it is joined by the Forty-Five
river and other brooks.  |
If you like you can go Kayaking up the river, this scene was captured at
high tide. At low tide (above) you'd better have wheels on your kayak for this trip, as
you'll be sitting "low and dry". Boating is also available in the park at
Bennett Lake with canoes, kayak and even a small sailboat, there's a nice island to go to
and stop for a swim. |
