Kejimkujik Waterfront
The lake at the heart of Nova Scotia's only inland national park — a Dark-Sky Preserve of paddling routes, the Mersey River and ancient Mi'kmaw country.
Overview
A national-park lake
Kejimkujik Lake is Nova Scotia's second-largest freshwater lake and the centrepiece of Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site, in the wooded interior of the South Shore. The park is also a National Historic Site honouring thousands of years of Mi'kmaw presence.
In 2010 “Keji” was designated a Dark-Sky Preserve — Nova Scotia's darkest skies and brightest stars — and the Mersey River through the park is a classic canoe route.
On the water
Lake country around the park
You can't own land inside the park, so the waterfront market is the surrounding lakes, rivers and communities — places like Caledonia and Maitland Bridge — that give access to the same paddling, fishing and dark-sky country.
Waterfront here means quiet inland lake and river cottages, prized for wilderness, canoeing and some of the best stargazing in eastern Canada.
