    Irving Nature Park
    If you are in the area and have a couple hours, this is an awesome nature park. you can walk, bike or drive through area. There are may places in the park where you can stop and see the vistas, depending on the time of day the tide will be in or out and you can walk down on some of the rocks. They have several trails that you can walk down, all of them named for the various wildlife in the area. It is is to say, I will be on the frog trail, or Blue Heron trail.. We spent 2 hours there and enjoyed every minute of it.

    Definitely worth a visit! Plan to be there for a day.
    We stopped here for a little over an hour but wish we had a full day here. Instead of hiking, we walked the beach. It’s pretty remarkable that it’s a part of the Fundy coastline. We saw someone moving the Bladderwrack seaweed, searching for small crabs so we tried to find some too. No luck though but it was fun to get our hands dirty nonetheless! Tips: - Very bumpy roads at the end where the beach and some trial heads are so drive cautiously. - Pack bug spray - Bring a beach blanket and enjoy the views (very close to the parking lot)

    Beautiful Place
    We enjoyed the park. It was so beautiful and seeing the tide when it was out was amazing. We tried to walk on the sand, but it was muddier than we expected, and our feet sunk down a couple of inches. There are hiking trails with lots of great lookout points and benches. Lots of people stop at the entrance to the park to see the tide, but definitely drive the road that goes through the park. We would love to go back.

Great views. Went on Squirrel trail and Observation point. Could use more signage on trails, maybe with colour coding?

This was a beautiful park. We only spent an hour or so there, but the views were amazing, the beaches was beautiful and hedge maze was unique.
Looks like a great place to spend several hours.

Also, cleanest and cutes porto potties.

This beach is great for walks along the shore but watch if the tide is coming in as the waves can catch you. We enjoyed the wee sandpipers and the walk. Before you leave do drive up to the top of the park and view the coast from there. There is also washrooms t the top.

This is a beautiful park with a lot of great trails n beautiful spots! Easy 2 get 2. Lots of maps n directions. It’s a busy spot but rightfully so! BBQ and picnic areas are also great. You can easily spend most of the day here.

We arrived in Saint John later in the afternoon and the visitor center sent us here. Beautiful hike to a waterfall.
