Digby Backpackers Inn

Dim lights Keji, as the locals call it, is well known and loved for its many possibilities. It is an easy daytrip away from Digby, or - if you have the time - there are some fantastic back country camping spots. Have the time to spend a few days there but prefer a bit more convenience? Stay at the hostel located a short distance outside the Park. This National Park actually offers some of the best opportunities to see wildlife, or enjoy the beautiful lakes. You can also find Mi'kMaq petroglyphs inside this National Park.

Activities: canoeing, hiking, swimming

Kejimkujik National Park, the only inland National Park in the Maritimes, features abundant lakes and rivers ideal for canoeing. Kejimkujik features historic canoe routes traveled for thousands of years by Mi'kmaq and later early settlers from Europe. You will also find easy day-paddles for the starting canoe-er.

Digby is the gateway to the Digby Neck and Islands, considered to be one of Nova Scotia’s most spectacular natural regions. The great tides of the Bay of Fundy have created a rich ecosystem that supports an abundance of wildlife, including a great number of whales and seabirds. The area has become famous for its whale- and seabird-watching tours, and the land is an environmental treasure that offers spectacular panoramas of rocky headlands and tide-carved coastline. Timeless small fishing villages complete this dream destination. If you are ready to take a break from city tourism and rushed tours this area is an absolute must.

We strongly recommend you to take the time for this amazing area: it has a way of slowing your pace…. You might just find yourself on an otherwise deserted beach, watching the seals around the herring cages and hunting for sea glass while enjoying the fresh ocean breeze.
