Cape Jourimain Nature Centre

We didn't finish the trails due to the mosquitoes. However, the scenes already made our trip complete. 5 dollars to park and unlock all the access to the park.

The center area provides good overlook spots to the bridge: watch tower, beach, trails, and lighthouse…It’s a hidden gem. With a lot to offer plus parking, it’s worth to pay $10 contribution

One of the best place to visit in New Brunswick at the foot on the Confederation Bridge.

Cape Jourimain Nature Centre is one of it’s kind. It’s location makes it special. It is situated on Cape Jourimain Islands. These islands are classified as National Wildlife Area as well. These are the islands where historic Confederation Bridge starts from the New Brunswick side.The Nature Centre can easily be navigated on all kinds of Maps. Being located right at the root of the bridge one can have stunning views of the bridge from the look off tower built besides the Museum. The Museum and the store close at 5pm rest of the places including look off tower are open all the time. This Nature Centre is comprised of around 8km length of maintained trails across the whole wild life area passing through Salt Marsh, wild rose bush, woods, coastline and under the bridge. A Museum about local birds and their habitat and range of migration, a big eatery and a kitchen is also located in the Museum building, a store to buy souvenirs where you can taste different ice cream flavours too and of course a good size parking area. The review won’t be complete without mentioning another beautiful attraction of the place which is the lighthouse, of course. There’s another coastline trail that can take you right to the lighthouse while relishing the gorgeous views of beach and the bridge.I bet these islands must have some native history as well. However, I didn’t notice if it’s mentioned anywhere in the museum at all or at other places. Apart from that it’s a must visit place especially with the kids.

Beautiful park and trails. Easy hikes with beautiful views of the Confederation bridge and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Hikes are mostly beginner and family friendly!

This is a great place to stop after a long drive. It’s $8 to enter the park and they offer several hiking trails, and you can walk along the shore too. There’s an observation deck where you can take many pictures of the bridge, and there’s even a trail where you can walk under the bridge. One of the trails leads to the light house, and you can take a look inside if you’d like.

Great stop to stop and stretch your legs. Nice trails and a great look out spot to see the Confederation Bridge from. The facilities/Nature Center were not open when we were there but it looked like it would be very informative. Lots of parking and places for larger vehicles/RVs
