Parks Canada Perfect Picnic

Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site

Our twist on "take-out": Everything tastes better when you eat it outside!

Pick up a ready-made lunch from a participating local restaurant and let nature design your dining space.

Be dazzled by white sand beaches and turquoise water at Kejimkujik Seaside, or enjoy the stillness of the waterways and Acadian forest at Kejimkujik inland! "Bon appétit!"

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!

  1. Place your order with a participating local restaurant
