Walton Glen Gorge
A deep gorge known as the 'Grand Canyon of New Brunswick,' with a viewing platform overlooking cliffs about 100 meters high and the narrow 'Eye of the Needle' channel.
Walton Glen Gorge lies on the inland side of the Fundy Trail Parkway. The gorge is about 100 meters deep, with steep cliffs on both sides, and is known as the 'Grand Canyon of New Brunswick.' From the trailhead along the parkway, a walk of about 1 to 2 km leads to a viewing platform overlooking the entire gorge. A more challenging route descends to the bottom of the gorge, to the famous narrow riverbed known as the 'Eye of the Needle.' The path is slippery, so it is recommended only for experienced hikers. Admission and opening hours follow those of the Fundy Trail Parkway.
