Sep 12, 2024 - We have 3 nights reserved at the Jeremy Bay Campground at Kejimkujik National Park. Kejimkujik is “little ferry” in Mi’kmaq (the native people from this area). On the way there we took a quick detour and spent an hour and a half at the fishing town of Lunenburg on the south shore of Nova Scotia. Lunenburg was designated as a UNESCO site in 1995 because it is considered the best example of a planned British Settlement in North America.
Another picturesque town
Cap’n Kev in high seas
Cute little wharf area
Gino & Mirabelle met a friend
The bay is like a lake
we caught a BIG lobster
The Lunenburg bump is an architectural feature of the town (an overhanging dormer usually over the door).
Nice bench, but I love the reflection in the window of the brightly colored houses across the street
this town has lots of color
Mirabelle was happy to walk around town
Lunenburg
along the main street they had lots of painted fish hanging above the sidewalk
crab door handle
pretty streets
I like THAT kind of topping
the public bathroom had tiles on the walls made by local students with Lunenburg houses painted on them
lunch at the dog park
It was a 1.5 hour drive to Keji from Lunenburg. Some of the roads weren't great
Christmas tree farm
Site 218 in Jeremy’s Bay campground
the bathroom/shower house didn't look like what we're used to seeing on the road
Pretty nice looking bathroom/shower house
the view from our RV reminds me of the view we had at Two Jack campground in Banff…lots of trees
Another day another campfire
Keji is a designated dark sky area. Kev and I headed to the star gazing circle, which has red lights leading to the circle.
red lights and a dark sky
the moon was out, so it wasn't the best for star gazing
Sep 13, 2024 - Today we're going to do some hiking around Keji. The campground is close to the huge, beautiful Kejimkujik Lake, which has a nice hiking trail along it.
Since we're not headed out early this morning we decided to make breakfast. We love our little waffle maker, perfect size for our RV
and Canadian maple syrup!
what a pretty lake, lots of islands and lots of fir trees
Keji Lake is great for kayaking/canoeing. A lot of the islands have campsites on them
pretty bench with a view
even a beach for swimming
the star gazing circle during the day
No stars visible during the day
hammock time
appys with a campfire
we love hanging by the fire
Sep 14, 2024 - Another day to explore Kejimkujik!
Kev & I did an early morning hike along the lake
we found this bear in the campground!
We drove to the Visitor Center and hiked along the Mersy River
Mirabelle loves to drink from any water she finds on a walk
jumping Mirabelle
she's happy today!
hike to Mill Falls
view to the falls
lunch along the Mersy River
nice reflections
After lunch we drove to the other end of the park to hike to Peter's Point. It was a 2.5 mile round trip hike and a few miles on a gravel road.
Peter's Point
More cairns
we made it to the point
nice spot
another beach area
the iconic Canadian red Adirondack chairs
