Nice place to keep track of the tide in the Bay of Fundy. The restaurants and bars make it bearable. Great if you cannot make it out to the nature area to see the tides roll in.

A beautiful walk along a great river Harbour Passage Du Port is a path designed for walking, running, skating and biking that winds it way along the St John Harbour. It’s starts at the boardwalk in the center of town and ends up near the Reversing Falls. It’s actually a series of paths that connect parks, recreation sites, heritage places and scenic views. It’s part of the Trans Canada Trail and one of the purposes, other than the obvious recreational use, is to promote environmental awareness of the St John Harbor, It’s a great place to walk any time of the year although it does get pretty crowded in the warm weather. Breath taking views are everywhere and care must be taken so you don’t plow someone over or wander off the path into the river while you are looking at everything. This is the place where the St; John’s River meets the Bay of Fundy and the water can be wild and mesmerizing to watch. St. John is a working port so huge and fascinating ships are constantly gliding in out out across the water. The trail has lots of historic sites and signs explaining the history and geology of the area and plenty of benches, gazebos and observation platforms are strategical located. Three small lighthouses greet you on the start of the boardwalk in the center of town and the incredible reversing falls are at the other end. A very enjoyable place to walk, skate or bike any time of the year. Lots of great things to look at and the scenery and people are always changing. St John definitely did this right.
