Introducing Kejimkujik National Park
Less than 20% of Kejimkujik’s 381 sq km wilderness is accessible by car; the rest is reached either on foot or by canoe. Bird-watchers can hope to see plenty of water fowl, barred owls, and pileated woodpeckers, while wildlife ranges from porcupines to black bear. On a less joyful note, biting insects are rampant; watch out for mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds and eel-like leeches in the lakes.
