Irving Nature Park

Irving Nature Park is an amazing park to walk through with breathtaking views of Saint John's shoreline. Perfect relaxing day hiking these trails with plenty of wildlife and peacefulness. Parking is plenty and not overly crowded with tourists or people in general. Bring a light jacket and hat, it can get chilly and windy by the waters.

The combination of pine scented air and briny sea air is salve to the soul. This place is peaceful and quiet. I saw seven deer throughout my two hours there! Hiking trails are well kept and relatively easy. Picnic tables and benches throughout for a rest. I love how you get forest, beach, views of the sea, salt marsh, and rocky terrain all in one place. This park is a gem!

Excellent location just outside the city offers a very welcoming first impression of the area. There are multiple areas, trails and entrances so if you want to see it all, but are somewhat short on time, it's best to plan your routes. If you plan accordingly, you can also see the rise and fall of the tides. 600 acres comprising of a children's park, beach, forests, BBQ pits and picnic tables coupled with various activities throughout the year. It's a nice break from the more industrial feel of the main city area in Saint John.

Beautiful trails to walk/bike. Tons of birds, if you take the time to sit still and call to them, they will land on your hand! Beautiful place to go for a walk with friends and/or to be alone and ponder your thoughts. *Great place for rocks and sticks *Parking lot is AWFUL, drive SUPER slow and check your tires before leaving your vehicle after parking to make sure giant sharp rocks aren't indenting your tires. *No garbage

Drove through the loop, stopped at all possible stops. This is a well kept nature reserve. Some of the stops had beautiful views. There are many trails. Was told that when the tide is low, seals can be seen on the rocks. Unfortunately the tide was high when we were there, did not see any seals.

Just a beautiful park! What a great surprise for an unexpected getaway. I drove across the border from Maine for an adventure with my daughter and I sure found one. Trails along the coast are beautiful. Lots of little stops along the way to rest and take great pictures. Many spots for an impromptu picnic and great barbecue spots. I will definitely do it again and again!!

Amazing place, amazing views. The feeling of being surrounded by nature is incredible. The mosquitoes were tough, but I still recommend it 100% for a nice and easy hike.

Irving Nature Park is well maintained and welcome too! There's so many different aspects and ecosystems to see. It's a short drive from Saint John, with a one way road leading a loop through the park. There's several parking, picnic spots along the road. There's an observation tower and deck, several boardwalks to salt marshes, eight different trails throughout.

While passing through the area, our innkeeper at Fundy Heights B&B strongly encouraged us to visit here while. So glad we did. We went there after dinner and were lucky enough to enjoy the sunset. The views and photographic opportunities were fabulous. Watching the sunset while hearing the steady surf on the rocks behind us was memorable. Definitely worth making the time to visit.

Absolutely beautiful park. Free parking and free entry. Lots of beautiful spots to stop and take pics and take it all in.

A very scenic park close to down town Saint John. A great escape for any outdoor enthusiast. Spectacular views of the Bay of Fundy.
