Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site has it all -- lush forests, sublime lakes and dark skies. Generations have paddled, hiked, camped, and connected with nature and Mi’kmaw culture here. For thousands of years the Mi’kmaw people have lived with this land and petroglyphs, traditional encampment areas and canoe routes are still present.
“Keji” can be explored in a myriad of ways. It is an incredible spot to canoe, kayak, camp and hike. It is also home to Nova Scotia’s only dark sky preserve.
Parkbus is running 3 unique runs to Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site throughout September and October. There will be two daytime trips and one night time trips. See below for more information.
Day Time Trips
For our daytime trips, the bus will pick you up in downtown Halifax at 8am and take you straight to Jake’s Landing in “Keji”. The bus returns at 4:30pm. There are numerous trails and lakes to hike, paddle and swim through.

Enjoy free entry on this special day as Parks Canada celebrates the launch of two authentic Mi’kmaw-style birch bark canoes that were constructed at Kejimkujik during the summer. Parkbus participants have the option of exploring Kejimkujik on their own or participating in this special event by renting a canoe or kayak from Whynot Adventure (www.whynotadventure.ca) and joining the flotilla. The flotilla to inaugurate these new canoes departs Jakes Landing at 10:30 am and travels to Kedge Beach for refreshments and celebrations. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy pristine nature and authentic Mi’kmaw culture at Kejimkujik.
As this is the free park entry day, $4.90 will be refunded back to all participants who purchase regular, senior and student tickets (as these tickets include park entry - there is no park entry fee for kids).
