Nova Scotia has a wealth of provincial parks. Some are small picnic areas, and others are large parks with a variety of facilities.  North River Provincial Park is situated 3.5 km (2 mi) off the Cabot Trail at North River Bridge on Cape Breton Island. North River is a small picnic park located above the river and is well-known for fishing. A number of backcountry hiking trails begin at the park in the North River Protected Area. One leads through a spectacular steep-sided river canyon with deep salmon pools and a beautiful 32-metre (104 foot) waterfall.


Government operated.

Open May 20 – October 10

Yurt Backcountry Camping at Kejimkujik National Park
The big camping experience last winter was spending a night in a yurt at kejimkujik national park. The only problem was finding an open weekend to book one of the two Yurts at the park. With time running out, we booked a single overnight in late March at the Eel Weir Yurt.
