There are several paths you can walk or run. For those just wanting a nice drive there is also a roadway that can be driven around the Island. The Island is surrounded by the Bay of Fundy which is great to check out different sea sights along the way. More

Not quite large enough to be called hiking, but you can easily waste a full day walking around this brilliant park with excellent seaside vistas. My only complaint is that the touted wildlife never seems to be around when I'm there, but the views and trail make up for that. More

It's within city limits, yet it's natural and beautiful. I've hiked the Sheldon Head trail several times and also enjoy walking along Saint's Rest beach. I hear it's a fabulous place for star gazing! More
