Upper Salmon River

The Upper Salmon River, quiet in its upper reaches, wild and spectacular in the middle and flat and stony lower down its course, is typical of Fundy National Park. Situated in the north-east, the river is pleasantly situated off the main tourist track. Being so quiet it is a good place to visit in the high season, and deep pools and small waterfalls make it a bathing paradise for dedicated walkers. However, the water temperature rarely exceeds 18°C (65°F). In late summer Atlantic salmon can often be observed resting in certain pools at the bottom of waterfalls. The distance to be covered is between 10-20 km (6-12 mi.), depending on the trail chosen.
