Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada
(http://en.wikipedia.org/w...) is one of the main attractions of the area. With 381 square kilometres of protected forest, Keji provides the ultimate wilderness experience for the naturalist. 80% of the park is only accessible by canoe or hiking trails. Deer, porcupines, beavers, coytoes, martens and black bears are among the many species of wildlife you will find. Dynamic interpretive programs are offered all summer long. Pack a copy of The Tent Dwellers (http://en.wikipedia.org/w...) by Albert Bigelow Paine in your knapsack and relive the tale over 100 years later. Paine started his journey from Jakes Landing, which is still a point of departure at the heart of the National Park. Join the celebrations as Keji celebrates The Tent Dwellers Canoe Festival (http://www.tendwellers.ca) every August.Visit the lovely North Queens Heritage House Museum 902-682-2989.
