We were here right after Canada Day and there were still celebratory concerts, which we quite enjoyed. The temporary bleachers were fine for the evening events. We explored the park more the next day, hiking along the Riverside Trail, which is also part of the Great Trail, what used to be called the Trans Canada Trail. The people who live in Moncton are lucky to have such a park.

8. Tidal Bore
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 591 reviews
A tidal Bore is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of an incoming tide forms a standing wave of water that travels upstream, against the current of a river or narrow bay. The tidal bore in Moncton is caused when the unparalleled tides in the Bay of Fundy begin to make their way up the historic Petitcodiac River. The Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world and over 160 billion tonnes of water comes in and out of the bay each day! Twice daily, observers can watch the tidal bore as this incoming rush of water overtakes the outgoing tide in the formerly placid river.

Moncton's riverside Tidal Bore Park provides an outstanding opportunity to witness a fascinating natural phenomenon - a tidal bore. This is a tidally-driven wave which travels up the river from the Bay of Fundy. Tables showing the schedule for the manifestation are freely available. Definitely not to be missed! .
