Stage 3 of the Fundy Footpath covers 13.7 km from Telegraph Brook to Rose Brook, with 871 m of ascent and 886 m of descent. The highest point is 195 m. Allow about 7.5 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Primitive campsite at km 34.7 on the west side of tidal Goose Creek, with a privy and a food hang but no reliable water, so carry water in. Camp here if you arrive near high tide: the creek can only be crossed within about 3 hours of low tide.
Small primitive campsite at km 38 with room for only a few tents and no facilities; water from Jim Brook (treat it). The Jim Brook woods road (1.5 km) is an exit.
Primitive campsite at km 29.1 by the Quiddy River, near Martin Head, with no facilities. The river can be impassable after heavy rain or snowmelt; ATVs use the area at weekends.
Primitive beach campsite at km 40 at the mouth of Rose Brook, the last Footpath site before Fundy National Park, with a privy, a food hang and good water from the brook (treat it). No booking.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or in guides but could not be checked on an official page. The Footpath campsites are free, primitive and cannot be booked, but every hiker must register with Fundy Trail Provincial Park. The Goose River sites in Fundy National Park must be reserved in advance with Parks Canada.
