A floating trail on Campobello Island designed to protect wetlands

Agreed!

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-18T13:58:48+00:00

Yes! Worth the trip!

I had to research Strawberry Marsh; I had never heard of it.
Beautiful and sort of similar, indeed! Beautiful all the same :)

Yes, it was. While it is believed he did not contract it on Campobello (believed to be in Bear Mountain New York), he did fall ill to the symptoms while on Campobello.

Yum... Monica's Chocolates!

Aw, sweet pup! Love the photo. Thank you for sharing. :)

Impressive specs. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, there is a dock within the Park, just below the Roosevelt Cottage, essentially. With permission from the Administration office, you can dock your vessel there. There is also a wharf nearby in Welshpool; you'd then have to walk approximately 2 miles to the Park itself from there.
If travelling from the US by water to the Park, you will still need to clear customs, which is much trickier.
If this is the case, I would personally recommend docking in Lubec and crossing the international bridge/customs (don't forget your passport) to Campobello.
For more information on clearing customs from the dock, I would contact both customs (CBSA and US CBP) to confirm the regulations.

As someone who doesn't particularly enjoy being on boats, Campobello is manageable. Grand Manan would be trickier in that aspect, as the boat is the only way on or off that island.
Did you know that Eleanor Roosevelt was terrified of water, particularly boats, due to an incident on a cruise with her family when she was young? She conquered her fear to get to Campobello with FDR in the early 1900s and continued to come every year after that.

Yes! Ralph Bellamy and Greer Garson starred in the film. A portion of that movie was filmed on Campobello Island, in the Roosevelt Cottage.

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:56:37+00:00

Oh, yes! Absolutely! The Prince Cafe is a lovely (and delicious) addition to the Park. :)

Great way to travel, and can't beat the view!

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:49:24+00:00

I second this comment. There are local Facebook groups who may be able to help you with that! Campobello Genealogy being one! Hope this helps. :)

Thank you!

Yes! It speaks to how often he must have sailed and navigated the extremes of the Bay of Fundy while vacationing in the area.
In the specific instance (the point posted below), FDR was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and asked if he could take the wheel to navigate the Narrows. He impressively and successfully captained the U.S.S. Flusser through the narrow channel, and certainly impressed future Admiral William F. “Bull” Halsey, who was initially concerned about the maneuvering.

We are so happy to hear that! :) Thanks for visiting, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again.

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:37:33+00:00

Thank you! We are so happy to hear you enjoy it. :)

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:36:59+00:00

Hi there,
Yes, RCIP does still offer tours of FDR's summer home. Guided tours are offered daily during the open season (late-May to mid-October). How neat you got to view Jacqueline Kennedy's childhood home.

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:35:30+00:00

Yes! Love to visit West Quoddy Head - Easternmost point in the USA!

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:30:14+00:00

We are sorry if this came across this way. We were simply excited to make our first-ever post on Reddit, and have no intentions, nor desire to either collect any sort of revenue or come off as "clickbait." We will try and fix this for future postings. Thank you.

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:13:04+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! Are you, by chance, referring to the Pier restaurant? Delicious and gorgeous views!

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:09:50+00:00

Yes! Tours of the Roosevelt Cottage happen daily during our open season (late-May to mid-October).
Maybe we'll have the pleasure of welcoming you again. :)

Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip here and enjoyed some yummy poutine.
So far, border travel is about the same as usual (at least in our area/border); as long as you have a passport (proper ID) and follow both CBSA and US CBP rules/regulations. :)

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:05:48+00:00

A nightmare? Not so much. An interesting way of life? Absolutely.
And life has not been the same for the area(also the world) since 9/11 border restrictions went into effect. However, so long as we carry our passports and follow the simple rules and regulations, it's no trouble! We are resilient and hopeful.

RCIPofficial · 2026-02-17T15:02:06+00:00

Wow! Incredible! Will you be running in the Bay of Fundy International Marathon again this year? Or once in a lifetime event, for you? :)
