New Brunswick (NB)

My husband and I moved from Ontario to New Brunswick over 5 years ago and have never looked back. It's so beautiful and relaxed here and there is so much to do no matter what time of year. But fall in NB is my favorite.

Irving Nature Park, located in Saint John, NB, is one of my favorite spots to visit, especially in the fall. It's 600 acres of natural space located right on the ocean and you can hike it or drive through it and it's completely free. There are many i...

Grand Falls is really cool to see, it is literally a giant gorge with incredible waterfalls in the middle of a city. You can enjoy the incredible view and then walk up a block to some of the best restaurants I have been to. It's a must-see!

GRAND FALLS GORGE

If you're driving through NB, you must stop at Magnetic Hill (you can hit it on your way to bay of Fundy). Cars aren’t supposed to roll uphill—it seems impossible, right? But drive to the bottom of this world-famous hill, shift into neutral, and get ...

Magnetic Hill

People travel from all of the world to visit the Bay of Fundy and Fundy National Park because it has the highest tides in the world and when the tide is low, you can actually walk on the ocean floor, which I think is so cool! I feel so blessed to onl...

Fundy National Park

While you're at the Bay of Fundy visiting Fundy National Park, you must also visit Hopewell Rocks, it is one of the most beautiful spectacles I have ever seen. Along two kilometers of shoreline, over twenty sea stacks stand tall—an iconic sight not t...

Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park

Beach in the fall?? ABSOLUTELY!! Aboiteau Beach is my favorite in all of NB. It looks across to PEI and is said to be the warmest beach North of South Carolina. It is super clean, is easy to access and in fall, makes you feel like the only person in ...

With fewer crowds, fall is my favorite time for exploring the park’s beautiful beaches, trails, and red sandstone cliffs. The contrast of autumn colors against the rugged coast is unforgettable.

I love when the summer crowds are gone and you can have the beautiful beach almost to yourself. Walking along the red sands with the fall breeze is a peaceful way to enjoy the island’s natural beauty.

I love history so much and this 1890s village offers a step back in time. It’s cozy, scenic, and set among beautiful fall foliage, making it a great spot for autumn photography and a bit of local history.

Orwell Corner Historic Village

This quaint village is even more charming in the fall, with its colorful buildings, coastal views, and artisan shops. It’s a relaxing place to take in some local culture, stroll along the wharf, and enjoy the quiet of the season. I find so much peace...

Victoria by the Sea

I have a special place in my heart for this spot, as my family from PEI are distant relatives of Lucy Maude Montgomery, who wrote Anne of Green Gables and visiting this place is such an incredible experience, especially in fall. The autumn colors bri...

Nova Scotia in the fall has a vibe I absolutely love. The coastal scenery mixed with autumn colors is stunning, and there’s such a peaceful feel to the whole place. I always feel like I can really slow down and enjoy everything—from quiet hikes to fr...

Known for its apple orchards, wineries, and vibrant fall foliage, the Annapolis Valley is a perfect autumn escape. I love going there to pick apples, explore charming towns like Wolfville, and enjoy stunning views of rolling farmland framed by colorf...

Annapolis Valley Region

This park is ideal for hiking, canoeing, and camping among the fall foliage. The park’s waterways and forests become a blanket of colors, and it’s especially stunning along the lakes and rivers. But I have to be honest, my favorite part is staying in...

Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site

I love Lunenburg, it's such a cool little town. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lunenburg's colorful waterfront and historic buildings are even more charming in fall. Strolling through town and along the harbor is a cozy way to enjoy the crisp air and ...

Known for having the world’s highest tides, this park along the Bay of Fundy offers striking coastal landscapes. I love visiting in fall to explore the red sandstone shores and see the dramatic tidal changes, all while surrounded by fall colors.
