Beautiful national park. Remote as far as Nova Scotia goes but worth drive. We took advantage of a nice weekend in November. No one really around. All facilities were closed but we expected that. So lovely to see pristine wilderness and no litter. We will come back!!

A beautiful National park and loved staying here in Pods. There's a lot more to discover and I will definitely come back again for more! We did the trail around the waterfall and it was really nice. An easy trail to do with toddlers and he enjoyed the stay inside the pod. The kitchen shelter and washrooms are great and well maintained. Play structures near the lake is a wonderful addition and my kid loved playing there. He was missing the "park" during our 10days roadtrip and he was so excited to see the play area. You can rent canoes from the park and it won't rent canoes after 5pm. A canoe ride would have been nice, but we missed it with our schedule. A must visit place in Nova Scotia and en route to the Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove. I loved every bit of this National park and its greater history of First Nations. The Pods we stayed at are well equipped with electricity, phone charging facility, and night lamps.

Beautiful national park. Vast and full of natural wonder. Both sections are nice, seaside and the woodlands section. A great place for background camping and canooing. Lots of isolated campsites for those looking for peace and quite in nature. A must visit for nature lovers and paddling enthusiasts.

Beautiful park but we found the campground with mostly tents very crowded and noisy. The facilities are quite new and there are dish washing sinks, which was much appreciated. We cycled through the park roads and on some easy trails. The RV sites appeared to have more privacy with larger lots and electrical hookups.

Outstanding park for the whole family. We explored beaches, scenic lookouts, beautifully maintained hikes, most of them easy and appropriate for everyone, great food at the Lakeview cafe, kayaking and canoeing, and every single park employee we talked to was super friendly and eager to help make our visit the best. Don’t miss this jewel of western Nova Scotia. Oh! And big bonus: there are picnic tables throughout the park so bring a picnic!!

The visitors center was very informative. The trails were well equipped with infor.ative boards, signs, and maps. There were very less crowds making for a calm and quiet place. We did 3 easy to moderate trails. The Mill Falls Trail, the Beach Grove trail, and the Flowing Waters Trail. All 3 trails were along the river. The staff in the park were very courteous.

Nice park mainly a forest and a lake...main interest is about Mi'kmaq which I really appreciated... no special views on trails.. cafe was open with great choice of food! were supposed to camp 3 nights left after 2 noisy nights and no staff goes around...I've never had such a bad experience in a Canada park campground.... Distance is also to take under consideration you're at least 1h30 from any main towns

Stayed two nights ...its a beautiful park and very quiet while we were there. Enjoyed a few of the parks beautiful trails. Farm lands trail was wonderful and the huge White Pines amazing. The Mill falls us defiantly worth a look. The only improvements I would like to have seen are: - better maintenance of unpaved roads some pot holes were huge and made for a rough ride in places. - signage in this park is the worst I have seen in any national park I have visited.

This national park is so beautiful, it has many parts . I think you need around two days to look around in the whole park area. I did a one day tour and chose the lake to do kayaking. It was so much fun but scary at the same time when wind was strong. My whole family loved the experience and enjoyed kayaking. Don’t forget taking bug spray and sunscreen . You need packed lunch and snacks, I don’t think there is anything available there to eat. Must visit place and I will plan to visit the whole park next time and do camping.
