The Allure of Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct
Kejimkujik’s Seaside Adjunct is a Nova Scotia provincial park situated in Port Joli at the end of the St. Catherine’s River Road (approximately a fifteen minute drive from White Point Beach Resort and two hours southwest of Halifax). This beautiful park is best experienced by taking one of two trails.
The Awesome Trails
One of the two trails, the shorter one, is a leisurely walk with basic walking shoes. Its length makes it popular with children and older ones who cannot walk too far but want to experience a grand trip complete. There are plenty of sightseeing rocks, twist and turns which make it fun for kids. There is also the added attraction of wildlife, beautiful wild flowers, berries, and many rare species of plant life. At the trail’s end is a panoramic view of ocean, pounding waves, basking seals and a white sandy beach that stretches for miles.
Proper hiking boots or good running shoes should be worn when taking the longer of the two hiking trails. This path crosses over rocky beaches, traverses narrow bush paths and includes all of the shorter trip plus large meadows and boardwalks.
In addition the park is right across the harbour from Thomas Raddall Provincial park and there are four migratory seabird sanctuaries nearby. Thomas Raddall was a best-selling novelist who lived right in Liverpool and used Nova Scotia as the site for his great works of fiction
Trail Fees
There is now a nominal fee, during the regular season, to enter the park with a reasonable “family rate” ($7.50) being offered. Unfortunately, no bikes permitted on the trail but even bikers will not mind seeing this amazing park on foot.
Really a nice place! If peace and tranquility and being close to nature appeals to you, then Keji is worth a visit. It would be great to go there on vacation. There are plenty of campsites scattered throughout Kejimkujik Nova Scotia Park and plenty of opportunities for exploring the natural environment. Day walking is best for this, I think. There are also 14 hiking trails. I found these here: http://www.nova-scotia-vacation-guide.com/kejimkujik-nova-scotia.html, if anyone else is interested.
