Keji is open year round, and winter at the park is great for hiking, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, and yes...even camping.

Often there is snow in this part of Nova Scotia when there is none near the coast.  Skiing and snowshoeing are a great way to explore Keji’s winter wonderland. Go coasting at Jim Charles Point and then warm up in the nearby shelter. When there is little snow, there are more opportunities for hiking or having a cosy picnic in one of the shelters at Merrymakedge. 
 
Kejimkujik offers groomed ski trails every weekend from January through March, when nature provides the snow. See trail map and distances below. Call the Visitor Centre (902-682-2772) to check on current ski trail conditions

Those who are hiking, on snowshoes or bringing a dog, can use the unconditioned side of the ski trail, keeping the ski track area groomed for skiers. Be considerate of others and clean up after your dog, depositing the waste in the garbage.
