Fall, winter, and spring at Kejimkujik
Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site
Kejimkujik is a great destination for seasonal hiking, biking, picnicking, geocaching, or stargazing (weather permitting). From November 1 to Victoria Day weekend most facilities and services are closed. Your visit at this time of year will be completely self-guided and very different from your summer experience.
