Great option to Hopewell Rock
I' ve wanted to visit the Bay of Fundy and walk ocean floor when the tide goes out for years. I finally planned a Road Scholars Bay of Fundy Circle of Tidal Wonders trip for June 2020. Of course, that was cancelled and hasn't been rescheduled thus far. I decided to research options for having the experience I wanted and discovered Irving Nature Park. I was not disappointed! The Park is clean and well maintained. There's even a wheelchair accessible ramp. I walked around the entire park. Sometimes I was on the gravel road other times I was on the trail. There were several lookout points, picnic tables and logs to sit on to view the Bay around the perimeter of the Park. I had lunch and water with me so I took my sweet time walking. The best part was watching the last 90 minutes of the tide go out on the beach and finally walking the ocean floor. Sitting there listening to the rhythm of the waves, hearing the birds in harmony, and smelling the fresh air has a magical calming effect on the body. It was a surreal experience. Afterward I felt spiritually uplifted, at peace and one with nature. Thank you for this "once in a life time" bucket list experience.

I cannot wait until summer to come back!
We popped into this park on a whim! It is a huge place! We went to the park, looked at a swim area, camping area.... We walked the trail for a few minutes and checked out some monuments... I look forward to spending a full day here with a picnic and hang out with friends! We envisioned our family from ON and NS coming to visit us and us, taking them here for a day trip! Looking forward to exploring!
