The information center at Fundy National Park.
The flowers were very colorful. They had gardens all around this area.

One of the trails we went on passed this Covered Bridge.

This area of the park used to contain a lumber mill (1800 to early 1900's).
Logs were transported from up river to the mill. After they were cut into boards
they were transported to other parts of the Maritimes
and the US by sailing ship.
There was a dock which completely covered the long sandbar. It was used to load lumber
on the ships.
There was also a shipbuilding pier on the smaller sandbar. 43 four masted sailing ships
were built in this harbor.
Signs along the trail describe the lumber and shipbuilding activities. They included
pictures from early 1900.

This is the trail which takes you down to the sandbars.
We are passing through a Red Spruce forest.

These are pilings from the dock which was built in the 1800's.

Time for a rest before the trip back up to our car.
