# Kejimkujik National Park & Historic Site

Region: Southwest NS, Ontario, Canada
Coordinates: 44.4, -65.2167
Bortle class: 2 (1 = pristine, 9 = inner city)
Drive from Toronto: ≈ 18 hours east via Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia's Highway 103 — most visitors fly into Halifax and drive about 1.5–2 hours.
Best time: Summer through early autumn, when the park runs its guided dark-sky programs, including canoe paddles and evening presentations.

## Overview
Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site protects Nova Scotia's darkest sky, and its Dark-Sky Preserve programming leans into Mi'kmaw astronomical tradition alongside standard stargazing — including a guided "Spirit Road Turtle" night-sky presentation and a dark-sky canoe paddle. The inland lakes and forest keep the site well removed from coastal town lighting.

## What to see
Milky Way over still lake water, and a genuinely dark Atlantic sky rarely found this far south in the region.

## Highlights
- Nova Scotia's darkest national park sky
- Guided Mi'kmaw-informed dark-sky programs, including a canoe paddle under the stars
- Jeremy's Bay Campground field gives an open lake-facing horizon

## Tips
- Park entry fee applies
- Book guided dark-sky programs ahead — they run on a limited seasonal schedule
- Bring bug protection for lakeside evenings in summer
