1 - BIG SALMON RIVER LOOP

Closed for the season



Starting Location: From the interpretive centre, facing the picnic tables on the
hill, turn right and walk down the stairs. Follow along the chipsealed road
until you come to a path near the river on your right. Follow this path along
the Big Salmon River until you reach the stairs. Continue up the stairs and
follow the trail until you return to the interpretive centre. This looped path
may be walked in the reverse. The distance for this trail is measured for the

Estimated Time :0.75 h

2 - EYE OF THE NEEDLE TRAIL



*The trail is open to approximately the last 60 meters where a closed sign is
posted.

The Walton Glen Gorge Trail (formerly the Eye of the Needle Trail) in the Little
Salmon Protected Natural Area, is a very technical and challenging trail. Since
it is a linear trail, please remember that what you hike down, you must also
hike up (making the trail a total of 2.4 km).

Descending and ascending on this in-and-out trail will involve holding onto
chains on a narrow rock cliff edge, carefully navigating several steep
switchbacks, and constant awareness of foot-placement and surrounding hazards.

This trail descends 180 metres down into the Walton Glen Gorge, characteristic
of a narrow river canyon, with sheer cliffs on either side and the white water
Walton Glen Brook running through it. The environment within the Walton Glen
Gorge is extraordinary, but respecting the landscape is just as important to
your safety as it is to conservation of this protected natural area.

Stay on the trail and use the trail at your own risk. Proper hiking footwear is
a must. Sandals and sneakers are not recommended for this hike. Use caution on
this trail as there are loose rocks and gravel.

12 - LOW TIDE LOOP



This 2 km loop takes you through the woods with clifftop views of the Bay of
Fundy, before descending onto a tidal beach for your return. This trail has a
moderate difficulty rating due to the cable ladder and uneven rocky surface on
parts of the beach.

As implied by the name, this loop can only be accessed at Low Tide. Your hiking
window is 2 hours on either side of Low Tide. Make sure to plan ahead and check
the St. Martins tide charts.

Directions:

Set off from Long Beach P12 up the cable ladder and head East on the Fundy
Footpath (Trail K), toward Seely Beach. This is along the Fundy Footpath trail,
so the terrain is rugged. At kilometre 1 you will arrive at a cable ladder.
Cable ladders can be quite steep and not always solid under foot- watch your
step!

Follow the cable ladder down. At the bottom, take a couple steps to the left and
cross the stream, follow the stream bed to the beach. Head West (to the right)
back toward Long Beach.

Make sure to stop along the way and explore the neat elements of the ocean floor
that are exposed at low tide!

The distance for this trail is measured for the full loop.

* Please note that this trail has a limited hiking window. As a general rule of
thumb your window for completing this hike is 2 hours on either side of low
tide. The beach section should be completed within that time frame.

Super tides or extreme high tides could shorten the window.





















Length :2.0 km/1.24 mi. (Loop)
Estimated Time :1.0 h

overnight, please display a dated parking pass, available at all Kiosks, Big
Salmon River Interpretive Center and Walton Glen Reception Center.

The Fundy Footpath (recently listed in the “50 Best Hikes in the World by
Explore Magazine) is separate from the Fundy Trail Parkway although part of it
does fall within our park. The footpath is a challenging wilderness trail that
starts at the suspension bridge at Big Salmon River and hugs the coastline to
