Generations of families have paddled, hiked, camped, and connected with nature and Mi’kmaw culture at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site (commonly referred to as “Keji”). As part of Nova Scotia’s only Dark Sky Preserve, when the sun sets, the skies over Keji reveal a beautiful panorama of tens of thousands of stars. Rock engravings are known as petroglyphs, traditional encampment areas, and canoe routes attest to the presence of the Mi’kmaw people for thousands of years.
