Discover Parks in Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is home to two national parks. The Cape Breton Highlands National Park offers 26 hiking trails, six beaches, coastal look-off points, campgrounds, waterfalls and more. Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site is an inland treasure featuring wilderness trails, lakes, and rivers, backcountry camping and a campground, as well as guided experiences to see stone-carved petroglyphs left by the Mi’kmaq. Located on the open Atlantic, Kejimkujik National Park Seaside is a wild and isolated 22 km² stretch of sandy coastline offering scenic hiking trails.
Nova Scotia is also home to 20 provincial parks and countless municipal and community parks where we invite you to discover the perfect parks for beach-going, camping, hiking, paddling, picnicking, boating, winter activities and exploring, and those offering spectacular scenic look-offs.
