History

Established in 1967, Kejimkujik National Park’s covers 381 square kilometres of lush forest, canoeing streams and lakes. For thousands of years, have played their role from the M’kmaq, who hunted and fished in the park area, through the era of trappers, loggers and prospectors, who exploited the land’s resources, to the present-day conservationists, who seek to preserve the park’s natural beauty for future generations. There is a seaside addition to the park called the Adjunct which is stretch of rocky coastline where you can see a zoological wonder of birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. This occupies a 22 square kilometres at the tip of the Port Mouton peninsula. In summer, you may see harbor seals relaxing on the rocky points of the Seaside Adjunct.

    Hi Vicki,

    You can sometimes see the northern lights in Cape Breton in early July but your best bet is the Yukon or southern Alaska in the spring or fall. Sorry I can’t be more specific. However, search some sites for tour operators in these areas that specialize in the Aurora Borealis.
