# Fundy National Park Dark Sky Preserve

Region: Bay of Fundy, NB, Ontario, Canada
Coordinates: 45.5951, -64.9509
Bortle class: 3 (1 = pristine, 9 = inner city)
Drive from Toronto: ≈ 15 hours east via Quebec and Highway 2 into New Brunswick, then Route 114 to Alma.
Best time: Late summer and early autumn — drier air off the Bay and the annual Fundy Park StarGaze event (hosted with the Saint John Astronomy Club) typically runs in this window.

## Overview
Fundy National Park sits above the highest tides on Earth, and its RASC Dark-Sky Preserve designation gives you a reason to stay past sunset: the same fog-scrubbed Bay of Fundy air that makes for dramatic daytime views also makes for very transparent night skies. Saint John's astronomy club runs an annual StarGaze weekend here that's open to the public.

## What to see
Milky Way over the Bay of Fundy, Perseids and Geminids from the campground fields.

## Highlights
- RASC Dark-Sky Preserve on the Bay of Fundy
- Annual public StarGaze weekend with the Saint John Astronomy Club
- Dramatic sea-cliff and forest scenery by day, dark coastal sky by night

## Tips
- Park entry fee applies
- Weather off the Bay changes quickly — pack layers even in summer
- Book campsites near Alma well ahead for StarGaze weekend
