Rivers and streams cut through New Brunswick's Fundy National Park, which extends for 13 kilometres (8 miles) along the Bay of Fundy.
 

Saint John, New Brunswick, a deep-water port and railway terminus, is also famous for its Reversing Falls Rapids, shown here. Tourists like to marvel at the swift reverse currents, which flow up the Saint John River during tides as high as 21 metres (70 feet) in the Bay of Fundy, where the world's highest tides occur.
 

Pine trees stand out against a fiery sunset at New River Beach, a provincial park on the coast of the Bay of Fundy between Saint John and Saint George. An extensive system of parks and camp sites is appreciated by visitors who come to see the unspoiled landscape. Managed forests cover eighty-seven per cent of New Brunswick, making forestry the main industry, while at the same time encouraging a marvellous abundance of wildlife.
 
 
 
 
 
 

"The longest covered bridge in the world" at Hartland, New Brunswick, is one of the pioneer and other historic sites which are preserved and proudly shown off. Remembering the past is important both here and elsewhere in Canada.
 

King's Landing Historical Settlement is about 32 kilometres (20 miles) west of Fredericton on the Saint John River. In a province with an annual snowfall of 2.5 metres (100 inches), mock pioneer life somehow looks more real when set against this guaranteed idyllic backdrop.
