Low-lying marsh boardwalks along the Petitcodiac River reveal tidal mudflats, reflective channels, migrating birds and the occasional tidal bore — great for intimate waterscape and wildlife shots. Visit at sunrise or sunset for warm side light and reflections; low tide exposes textures and patterns in the mudflats. Trails are flat and accessible with free parking in Hillsborough; no formal entry fee. Spring and fall bring peak bird activity; winter offers stark minimalist scenes.
