Just outside of Fredericton's downtown core, you can find Hyla Park Nature Preserve—Canada's first amphibian sanctuary and a hidden urban gem.After the uncommon gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor) was discovered in this area, the land was set aside to preserve and protect its population and habitat. Visit the park and listen to the flute-like trilling sound of this tiny frog. Also, keep a lookout for the busy beavers, migratory birds, and rare plants that can be found in the park, including red milkwort, purple gerardia and small-flowered gratiola. Enjoy the serenity of meandering hiking trails right in the heart of Fredericton's North side.
Travel Advisory: Due to an extreme wildfire risk, forest activities are paused in New Brunswick. Stay up to date on current conditions and closures by visiting the Fire Watch information page.
