Discover the Enchantment of Black Hole - A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

Getting There

• Car

  From the main entrance of Fundy National Park, head south on Route 114 towards Alma. Continue on Route 114 for approximately 15 km (9 miles). Once you reach the village of Alma, look for signs pointing to the Black Hole trailhead. Turn onto the local road that leads into the trailhead parking area. There is no entrance fee for the Black Hole trail, but you should ensure to arrive early as parking can fill up quickly, especially during peak tourist seasons.

• Public Transportation

  If you are relying on public transportation, you can take a bus from Moncton to Alma. Check the Maritime Bus schedule for routes to Alma. Once you arrive in Alma, you may need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to take you to the Black Hole trailhead, as public transport may not go directly there. Be sure to confirm the fare with the driver before starting your journey.

• Hiking

  Once you have arrived at the Black Hole trailhead, you will find a well-marked hiking trail leading to the Black Hole. The hike is approximately 2 km (1.2 miles) one way and is moderate in difficulty. It is advisable to wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring plenty of water, as well as a small snack for the trail. The hike will take you through beautiful forested areas and eventually lead you to a pristine river. Make sure to take your time and enjoy the natural scenery along the way.
