Multi-Day Trails at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada

With over 100 km of trails, Kejimkujik provides numerous opportunities to explore forests, lakes, and rivers. For the hiker who takes to the backcountry, true solitude prevails. Away from the canoe routes, more bobcats walk our trails than hikers. You will pass through every imaginable type of forest (we count 21 different types), wade through hip-high ferns, cross small brooks and skirt some lakes.
