General presentation
Kejimkujik et côte sud
Forest lakes, mi'kmaq petroglyphs and wild beaches connect the interior of Kejimkujik with the Atlantic.
Kejimkujik National Park, Kejimkujik Seaside and Kejimkujik Lake give the most telling landmarks of Kejimkujik and south coast. Together, they form a destination where forests, shores and lakes, the coastline and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national de Kejimkujik
Kejimkujik Protects a vast interior landscape of dark lakes, slow rivers, pines, maple trees and portages used for a long time by the Mi'kmaq. Canoeing, camping and walking take over on the road: the park is discovered mainly at the rhythm of water, undergrowth and starry nights.
Place indismissible
Kejimkujik Seaside
Kejimkujik Seaside Shows the other face of the park, on the Atlantic coast: clear beaches, low moors, lagoons and rocks beaten by the wind. The trails lead to coves where seals and seabirds can be seen, in a very different atmosphere from the forest lakes of the interior.
Lake
Lac Kejimkujik
The lake Kejimkujik is the quiet heart of the park, with long wooded banks, low islands and water suitable for canoeing. From beaches, docks or campsites, the landscape reveals itself in small touches: bird screams, dark reflections, passages of paddlers and morning fog.
Place indismissible
Pétroglyphes mi'kmaq de Kejimkujik
The Mi’kmaq petroglyphs at Kejimkujik are carved into rock near the water and depict stories, animals, boats and contact between cultures. Controlled access protects these fragile markings; the visit is particularly valuable for the direct connection between the landscape, Indigenous memory and ancient practices.
