The Fundy Shore Ecotour ran from Brooklyn, Hants County in the south, to Amherst, Cumberland County near the inter-provincial boundary with New Brunswick in the north. It followed the shores of Chignecto Bay, Minas Basin, and Cobequid Bay and overlaps with and extends the Glooscap Trail in many places.
Some remnant signage of the Fundy Shore Ecotour still remain, but the route has been largely replaced by the Glooscap Trail and Fundy Shore Scenic Drive.[2][3]
