Activities and experiences

Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site

Discover deep traditions in harmony with nature. Indigenous petroglyphs illuminate thousands of years of Mi’kmaw heritage here. Paddle waterways and hike or bike woodland trails through rich ecosystems. Stay overnight in this Dark Sky Preserve.

At Kejimkujik Seaside, the Atlantic coast reveals its beauty with white sand beaches, turquoise water, and lagoons that provide nurseries for all sorts of sea life.

Backcountry firewood changes

Beginning in 2025, free and unlimited firewood will no longer be provided for backcountry campsites and rustic cabins. Campers who choose to have a campfire must purchase firewood at the Visitor Centre or Campground Kiosk and transport it to their campsite. Campers will otherwise rely on the appliances they bring with them for their cooking, heating, and entertainment needs. More information

From June 20 to September 2, Parks Canada will be offering free admission and 25% off camping fees at participating locations. More details will be shared in the coming days. Stay tuned!
