Salt marsh trail
Kouchibouguac National Park
Distance: 0.9 km loop
Time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Habitat: Salt marsh, forest, estuary
This trail is a short loop through an area that is representative of salt marshes around the Gulf of St. Lawrence and typical of the salt marsh habitat in Kouchibouguac National Park.
Here’s your chance to visit – from the comfort of a boardwalk – a wet, soggy, mosquito-infested area that few people ever see.
Leave your bicycle in the rack, put on some insect repellant, and experience this ecological zone firsthand.
Be Prepared!
