Kejimkujik National Park (established 1974, 403.7 km2) is also a national historic site (designated 1995) commemorating over 4,000 years of Indigenous history. The name derives from a Mi'kmaq word referring to the exertion required in paddling across Kejimkujik Lake, which forms the park's centre. Tranquillity is the keynote of this glacier-scarred park situated 160 km southwest of Halifax in southwestern Nova Scotia. Its brooding forests and dark waters are disturbed only by the loon's cry or the swirl of a paddle. In the past, most of the park was logged over and burned, but the ancient character of the forest is once again intact, and scattered stands of ancient hemlocks can still be found.
