Canoeing

Nova Scotia offers an abundance of accessible canoeing on inland lakes and ponds. The premier destination is Kejimkujik National Park in the southern interior, which has plenty of backcountry sites accessible by canoe. A number of other fine canoe trails allow paddlers and portagers to venture off for hours or days.
