Thank you for visiting! The Fundy Recreational Trails Project began in 2003 with the construction of two sections of multi-use singletrack and rehabilitation of a section of the Greenough Road in the Village of Alma uplands, also known as Greenough hill. This has allowed us to connect the Village with a forestry road between Greenough Brook and Lake Brook, the Fundy National Park boundary. From here you can travel on dirt roads to your hearts content.

However, there are a number of opportunities to expand the trails and keep riders and visitors here longer. Rehabilitating more of Greenough Road would provide additional double track and a very scenic route to the Caledonia highlands.

A proposed trail to connect Mill Walk with the upper trails along the Southeasterly side of Greenough Bk. will provide a direct hiking link from the Village. Old sections of reclaimed trail corridor can be used. An additional loop may be added by connecting the core trail built in 2003 with an additional brook crossing near Greenough Falls.

In addition, there are many cultural remains in the landscape each with tell-tale signs of coming and going along bench-cuts and cleared corridor from which to piece together cultural history along new routes.

The potential to expand the recreational opportunities in the remote upland Alma is great. With continued expansion, the project can provide additional benefits to the area and its visitors.

We are continuing to flag new sections of trail and hope it will be possible to put together funding proposals to push the project along, despite the sasquatch sightings. In reality, the footprints you see on the trail are part of footloose in Albert County, a Culture, Wellness and Sport NB's supported active living project. They invite you to check out nordic walking this winter. As we become organized, we will be looking for additional supporters to join us in the endeavor.
