There is a wide, gravel trail (wheelchair accessible just make sure someone able to push through- took grandma & loved it) going around the entire rez (3.4KM) but off this main gravel trail is 2 dozen trails (no official map, just have to look for the openings!) My favourite trail we call "beaver trail" - named because you pass a beaver dam! (have never seen a beaver but always have my camera ready...) To get to the beaver trail: Go clockwise. The opening is 3 minutes after you start on the gravel trail - its wide enough for 1 person so bring your carrier. Also, I've been temped to let my dogs off leash in these trails but one day I came across 2 poripines (they left us alone and we left them alone, no harm) but from then on will not let me doggies off leash (as the sign states lol) There are lots of beaches as well! To get to the best private beach people bring their poochies to: Go clockwise around trail. When you come to bridge take the trail to the right (along the water) There will be other small trails leading off but keep going straight and you come to a beautiful beach. Get out, enjoy and make your own family map of the trails you discover

Kejimkujik Nova Scotia, also known simply as Keji, is located in the western region of the province. It is a National Park and very well organized. Well known for its excellent canoe routes and camping, it also has a network of excellent backpacking and hiking trails. This is pretty much a flat area. But if peace and tranquility that being close to nature appeals to you, then Keji is worth a visit. Over 80 percent of the Park is backcountry, accessible only by canoe or hiking trails. The campground has showers, flush toilets and a trailer dump that are available to the campers.ciate the quiet beauty this Park has to offer. Love this spot!

This review is from two points of view, tourist and disability access…read more As with anything within the Fundy area, please take into effect weather and tides The cost was about $9 plus tax and it was good for one day only (other places offer two day passes) This places serves two venues, driving touring and hiking tourist. For the hiking touring, this place is probably your dream come true. The day I as here, the visibility was nill at best. I did go down to one view point where I could somewhat make out a rock formation with a tree on it. They call it a flower pot. The rest of the drive, was just that a drive due to lack of visibility. On my way back the fog lifted enough that I could make cliffs and rocky bottom... I will say that the signage in the page is poor. You come to a lookout for a beach, and to take the trail down you don't know whether to take the trail to the left or right from the lookout. Also unlike other Fundy locations, the signage in regards to the trails (difficulty etc) was poor as well. Never found the beach below. Disability access... yes there are boardwalk spots and boardwalk lookouts... but to get to them is another story! Wheelchair access from my point of view is little to none. For the walking impaired, there are stairs everywhere and some that gave a new level of difficulty. not just to me but also a service dog.... I'm not really impressed, but I did get some good pictures with the receding fog... I recommend thinking twice, if not a third time regarding this place... I look forward to what others have to say about this place. Parking was ample. Staff... saw some but there was no interaction (they were mowing) and the lady at the gate was not what I would call pleasant.

I have done many guided sea kayaking trips and Nova Shores knows how to do it right. Nova Shores…read moreprovides participants with a lot of extra gear that most places do not. This is extremely helpful if you are traveling because it cuts down on what you have to bring, but it is also helpful if this is your first time kayaking. The boots that they provide are great and I highly recommend them. While you do not have to step into the water a lot, they will keep you feet warm if they get wet. They also have some jackets and gloves depending on what time of year you go out. The kayaks and paddles were all in good repair, and I saw all the safety equipment I would expect to see with a trip of this nature. Our guide Liam was very kind and funny. He added to the quality of the trip because of his knowledge of the geology and local tribal lore about the Bay of Fundy. Liam also provided good instruction about kayaking and made sure that the group was safe and successful. Now the location is what makes this trip amazing. We went on the high tide paddle which I would highly recommend. When we paddled out, you were able to paddle amongst the rocks of the three sisters, go into natural coves and amphitheaters and even two sea caves. It was great fun to be able to paddle through the arch at high tide as well. At the "midway" you make it to a beach where you are able to get out and we enjoyed a bowl of chili and some great snacks. While you are on the beach the tides turn and start flowing out so as you head back you see the speed at which the tides flow out of the Bay of Fundy. Areas that you previously kayaked through are now unaccessible because of the change of water height, so you see it through a whole new lens. The tidal change actually gives you a push back to where you put in, so the paddling is even easier on the way back in. The scenery here is unbelievable and we saw a bald eagle soaring overhead on our trip. Nova Shores puts together a great adventure.and I would return to take one of their longer trips as well. Thank you to the Nova Shores team for making our trip to Advocate Harbor special.

They stoke contagious good humour and an inspired curiosity about the earth and all its creatures.

I visited in January 2026 right after a snow storm and it was frigidly cold, but gorgeous. The vast sea is almost ominous and the views from this spot are just surreal.

Students of International Relations may be familiar with a phenomenon called "Soft Power…read moreDiplomacy". Often this takes the form of international media programming and information distribution that may be criticized (rightly or wrongly) as propaganda, often because of its asymmetrical nature (to its intellectual critics, as a means of broadcasting the narratives of "Empire" at the exclusion of individual experiences). We might take such examples as the U.S. Agency for Global Media and its oversight of Voice of America. However, such Soft Power Diplomacy can also take more bilateral forms, in which two sovereign states emphasize their mutual contributions over the years, with the motivating principle being that a history of good relations makes for a future of good relations. Funded by the governments of the two participating countries, Campobello Island's Roosevelt Campobello International Park (located in New Brunswick, Canada) provides a fruitful and demonstrative example of positive bilateral relations that are maintained through Soft Power Diplomacy of this type. Occasionally, as with many historical museums in its genre, the more problematic aspects of history are swept under the rug (such as FDR's emergence as a rising star in the Democratic Party at a time when it was known largely as a party of southern segregationists such as Woodrow Wilson and Josephus Daniels, or - also a thorny issue - FDR's wartime persecution of Japanese-Americans). To address these matters, however, is not the point of this museum. Rather, it is to build on FDR's reputation as a wartime president who overcame great odds (both personal and political) and in so doing to emphasize goodwill between Canada and the United States. In this, the Roosevelt Campobello National Park is successful. Guided tours are provided of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's summer home, and there is a Living History presentation available by an actor portraying First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, herself elevated to legendary status as one of the most powerful and influential First Ladies of the United States in history. Both of these features are conveniently close to the park-and-museum's in-house restaurant and cafe, on the lower floor of a lovely little cottage overlooking the water. In the main lobby and gift shop are placards that discuss Canada's aid to stranded American travelers during 9/11 as well as both wartime military cooperation and peacetime agreements between Canada and the United States (such as USMCA, the renegotiated version of NAFTA developed and ratified under the prior US presidential administration). This park and museum are worth attending, though with the same critical thought that ought to be applied in any Public History setting. In this case, Public History serves as an item in both countries' diplomatic toolkit. To this purpose, the museum and park certainly achieve their intent.
