Effective Immediately: As per today's public health announcement, the wearing of personal masks is now mandatory everywhere within our park (both inside and outside). For the safety of all our guests and staff, this will be enforced.
Effective immediately, the wearing of personal masks will be mandatory to enter any of our buildings. This includes washrooms, lobbies, interpretive area, gift shop and restaurant.
With only 5 days left in our 2020 season, we encourage everyone to drop down this Saturday to witness our annual foot race. The restaurant will even have turkey dinner on the menu all weekend if you work up an appetite.

At the Hopewell Rocks, we have water dishes available for your pet to use .... or anyone else who feels they want to give them a try.
Here is our final reenactment of the season. This one only spans 12 years but highlights how fallen rock erodes much faster than the in-situ formations beside them. The tree growth and foliage is interesting as well.
Due to the impending storm, the park will be closed to the public tomorrow. With predicted strong winds and higher than average tides, we strongly encourage everyone to stay away from the park in the interest of their own safety. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

My, how quickly they have grown! Check out how mature our young peregrines look with their yellow legs, beaks and eyes!

Did you know that at their fastest, the tides at the Hopewell Rocks can be rising straight up at a rate of 13 feet per hour? This video from the archive says it all!

In this 6th edition of historical reenactments, we visit Cut-off Cove. The original photograph taken in 1895 features an Arrow Head shaped formation that lost its battle with erosion in the spring of 1989.
MMM MMM MMM. What a view! Once you've explored the shoreline and worked up an appetite, be sure to stop by our High Tide Restaurant to try our new Rocks Burger.
The erosion rate of our rocks varies greatly based on many factors but for this particular formation, at this particular tide height, it lost an average of just under an inch per decade per side since 1902. So today, the formation is 65.5 inches wide at its thinnest point.
On behalf of the entire Hopewell Rocks family, we would like to welcome Erika DeGrace to her new role as Operations Manager. Erika tells us she is excited about her new role and has received a warm welcome. She looks forward to getting to know and grow with the community.
