Fundy Shore & Annapolis Valley
Mi'kmaq legends tell of the mighty Glooscap who created Five Islands and controlled the great tides with his magic. And it's the tides that create experiences that are magically unique. Where else can you walk on the ocean floor at low tide, or experience the thrill of whitewater rafting upriver on the world's largest tidal bore? Welcome to the Glooscap Trail.
One look at the Glooscap Trail is enough to convince visitors that, in fact, a mighty native ruler did shape and form this scenic route, as legend says. Indeed, there are few places in the world where visitors can watch a river flow backwards, witness the world’s highest tides, stroll along the bottom of the sea, look at fossils and semi-precious stones, and visit a tribute to an international singing star - all within easy distance of each other.
