Be responsible for your safety:

• Ensure that dogs are kept leashed, and do not approach, disturb or feed wild animals
• Take along appropriate clothing – rapid weather changes often occur at Kejimkujik Seaside
• Wear proper hiking footwear. Trail surface is variable and includes both graveled and natural surfaces, uneven terrain, loose beach cobble, and wet surfaces
• Have adequate sun protection (hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses) and carry water with you, especially for longer trails, climbs or open barrens
• Bring insect repellent, as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer
• Stay on designated paths and boardwalks to protect fragile vegetation and to reduce your chances of encountering ticks
• Mountain bikes are permitted only where indicated, for visitor safety and protection of the environment
