Kejimkujik National Park

In Canada, the Kejimkujik National Park contains historical sites dating from pre-colonial times to the present day. It's a popular destination for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in Nova Scotia's natural splendor.

Kejimkujik National Park has been occupied for over 4,000 years by many indigenous peoples, including the Mi'kmaq, who have lived in the area for the last 2,000 years. The park gets its name from Kejimkujik Lake, which is a Mi'kmaq word that means "place of fairies." On slate outcroppings along the shore, a number of rock engravings can still be visible. They portray scenes from traditional Mi'kmaq life, like as hunting, fishing, and animals, over the years.

European settlers began to arrive in the area around 1820, and a variety of enterprises arose, including farming, logging, and gold mining. A multitude of historical sites, including as sawmills, pits, and mining huts, can be visited.

Kejimkujik is now a popular destination for travellers seeking an active, outdoorsy experience. The traditional waterways, which were the same channels used by Indigenous people for generations, can be explored by canoe.

The hiking paths are enormous, with some stretching for 16 days and passing through Acadian forests, red maple floodplains, windswept pine trees, and old-growth hemlocks. There is also a long stretch of coastline and shoreline that is a hiker's dream.
