Cape Chignecto Provincial Park

Cape Chignecto Provincial Park is a Canadian provincial park located in Nova Scotia. A wilderness park, it derives its name from Cape Chignecto, a prominent headland which divides the Bay of Fundy with Chignecto Bay to the north and the Minas Channel leading to the Minas Basin to the east. The park, which opened in 1998, is the largest provincial park in Nova Scotia.
==Landscape==
The park's landscape is renowned for spectacular shoreline with extensive backpacking trails and scenic day hikes. The highest cliffs in Mainland Nova Scotia are located along the park's southern coast, measuring 200 metres (600 ft). The park occupies and has of wilderness coastline with unique geological features such as raised beaches, caves and sea stacks. The complex geology was created by continental collision along the Cobequid fault. The spectacular coastal landscapes of the park make it popular for hikers and kayakers. It also contains several abandoned logging camps, saw mills and the ghost towns of Eatonville and New Yarmouth. A secluded ravine named Refugee Cove was the site where Mi'kmaq sheltered fleeing Acadians during the Expulsion of the Acadians.
The mixing of warm summer temperatures with the cold tidal waters of the Bay of Fundy create frequent fogs resulting in moist rain forest like conditions which nurture "fog forests" of large red spruce and many unique and endangered species of lichens. The park's high southern cliffs support species of vetch and primrose with Alpine characteristics which are unique in Nova Scotia.〔"Cape Chignecto: Incredible Coastline", Interpretive Guide and Map, (2005) Nova Scotia Dept. of Natural Resources〕 Cape Chignecto also provides shelter for Nova Scotia's endangered mainland moose herd.
Tides rise and fall 12 metres along the Park's coastline, producing rip currents and rapid flooding at certain points. Several careless hikers have been trapped and had to be rescued when rising tides trapped them against sheer cliffs, the most recent being a couple and a dog who had to be rescued from rising waters at Eatonville by a helicopter from CFB Greenwood in July 2014.〔(Darrell Cole, "Couple, dog plucked from beach at Eatonville", Amherst News-Parrsboro Citizen Record, July 11, 2014 )〕
