Caribou Plain Trail

 

Although woodland caribou once wintered in the area, you are more likely to see moose on this very popular trail. It is a cross-section through Fundy’s forest ecosystems with a thick evergreen stand, leafy hardwood groves, streamside alder thickets, and a bog. Small lakes add to the diversity of the scenery.

2.1 kilometres long, will take about 1 hour to walk with only brief stops.
