One of the most welcome aspects of spring is all the extra daylight for spending time outside and in nature. What better place to take advantage of those extra daylight hours than a national park?
A park of rivers, Fundy is a great place to feel the power of nature as the Point Wolfe and Upper Salmon rivers race to meet the Bay. Springtime rivers have much higher water levels and flow much faster than usual, so make sure to practice caution as you explore. Higher water levels make waterfalls even more spectacular than usual this time of year. Add Dickson Falls to your May bucket list!

With the snow melted, some wildlife such as whitetail deer will become much more active, feasting on all the springtime shoots. Snowshoe hares will begin to shed their white winter coat in favour of the brown colours of summer. Bird numbers also increase this time of year, with many native species returning north from their winter homes. Listen for Spring Peepers and other frog species during your hike on Caribou Plain trail.
