Dickson Falls
The most popular short trail in Fundy National Park, where a wooden boardwalk leads through a moss-covered gorge to tiered waterfalls.
The Dickson Falls trail is a loop of about 1.5 km. Wooden boardwalks and stairs lead down into a secluded valley covered with moss and ferns, where waterfalls cascade down the rock walls in tiers, surrounded by tall spruce and hemlock. The trailhead also has a lookout over Fundy Bay. The full hike takes about 45 minutes. There are many steps, but the difficulty is low, making it suitable for families. It is located on the road from Alma to Point Wolfe, about a 5-minute drive away, and a national park pass is required.
