💡 Tips

  • The St. George Gorge is most spectacular after a heavy rain or during the spring melt.
  • Visit the fish ladder in late summer or early fall to potentially see salmon navigating upstream.
  • Walk across the bridge directly over the falls for the most dramatic photo opportunities of the gorge.
  • It's an excellent, quieter base camp for exploring the Fundy coast compared to busier nearby towns.
