The Fundy Footpath is a 41 kilometres (25 mi) hiking trail that runs from the Fundy Trail Parkway in Big Salmon River to Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, Canada. The trail connects to the 33 kilometres (21 mi) Fundy Trail at Fundy National Park, which in turn connects to the Dobson Trail.[2] The trail's earliest route was blazed by Jack McKay in the early 1980s but it fell into disuse. It was reestablished by Alonzo and Gilles Leger along with many, many other volunteers throughout the late 1980 and early 90's. The trail was officially opened in 1994 under the management of the Fundy Hiking Trail Association Inc.[3] In 2012 over 500 people hiked the trail. [4]
