Remember these points to ensure you have a safe visit and protect the wildlife at Kejimkujik National Park Seaside:

The trails are not for bicycles. Please leave your bicycles in the rack at the trail entrance.

Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. They can kill or harass wildlife and they may frighten other visitors. Keep your scoop handy. Cleaning up after your dog is required.

Stay on the designated trails to avoid ticks – and also to avoid trampling the vegetation.

In the open, coastal environment, protection from the sun is important, so a hat and sunscreen are recommended.

Swimmers are cautioned that the water is cold; dangerous currents and strong undertows may occur.

Hikers should use caution on rocky headlands. Unusually large waves can sweep people off rocks.

To approach seals on the beach is dangerous. While black bears are seldom seen, they are often feeding on berries and insects. Please respect all wild animals by viewing them only from a distance.
