Hiking

The Marven Lake Trail in Fundy National Park leads through tranquil forests by the coast of New Brunswick. It’s a long hike from the ocean up to two beautiful inland lakes, where you’re likely to spot moose bathing and grazing in summer.

The car park for the trail is located above Point Wolfe Beach, a beautiful bay that’s definitely worth a visit before or after your hike. A well-maintained gravel path climbs gently through the forest to a plateau situated at about 200 metres (660 ft) before following the ridge to the two lakes.

There are campsites at both Chambers Lake and Marven Lake, allowing you to stop for a picnic or to admire the lake views. Marvin is the only lake in New Brunswick where you can spot the four-toed salamander, so keep an eye out for its bright white polka-dot belly.

Hiking car park at Pointe Wolfe Beach

Highlight • Parking

This parking lot is perfect for a hike in the Pointe Wolfe Beach area. From the parking lot, a short walkway leads to a lookout point that offers a fantastic view of the bay. The Marven Lake Trail also starts here and the Trans Canada Trail also passes right by here.

Chambers Lake

Highlight • Lake

You can reach the beautiful Chambers Lake in Fundy National Park by hiking the Marven Lake Trail. In summer, you have a good chance of spotting moose at the shallow lake. They like to stay here and further west at Marven Lake. There is also a so-called "backcountry campsite" at Chambers Lake, a primitive place where you can spend the night with your own equipment in the green surroundings of the lake.

Marven Lake

Highlight • Lake

At Marven Lake in Fundy National Park, it's worth keeping your eyes open and taking a moment to pause. The lake is a popular place for moose in the summer, and you can also look for (and hopefully find) the four-toed salamander with its white belly. Marven Lake is the only lake in New Brunswick where this species of amphibian is at home.
