If there’s a "Disney World" for nature lovers in Nova Scotia, it’s Kejimkujik. 🌲🛶
From 400-year-old Hemlocks to backcountry paddles, it’s our wilderness crown jewel.

Honoured to host Secretary of State for Nature Nathalie Provost in #SouthShoreStMargarets! 🌿 From #Kejimkujik to #PortJoli, we saw incredible conservation work and learned about the inspiring Pemsɨk Conservation Mosaic, an Indigenous-led vision connecting people, culture & nature. 💚
Just out here, doing my thing. Being authentic and all 😆

Western #NovaScotia is in the midst of a serious drought
Those at #Kejimkujik National Park can attest to the impact as the lake & Mersey river are both dryer than ever. And looking at Rain accumulation expected for remainder of July, it's not going to get any better.
Good morning!
From photographer Eduard GoBner: "Indian Summer creates incredible colors in #novascotia. Photo taken at #Kejimkujik National Park. A brook reflecting autumn foliage colors. #visitnovascotia
I've never seen a photo as colorful as this. Amazing.

For anyone that's ever had to go through the stress of booking #Kejimkujik Slapfoot sites when they open for reservations in #NovaScotia, we're right there with you. They opened for bookings 15 minutes ago, and now the entire park is booked for the entire summer. Crazy. Result? We're in an oTENTik.
Another image from Kejimkujik seaside. Same iffy light but like the larger grouping of seals chilling out on the rocks.

The famous Parks Canada red chairs at the entrance to Kejimkujik National Park.
Berms, rollers, rock gardens and natural features add to the challenge of riding the new Ukme’k mountain bike #trail in #Kejimkujik #NationalPark, #NovaScotia. Story research was never more fun.
