Kejimkujik Lake sits at the heart of Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site in Nova Scotia, Canada — a landscape steeped in both natural beauty and deep cultural history. The Mi'kmaq people fished and camped along these shores for hundreds of years before European contact, and guided fishing trips during the resort era further cemented the area's reputation as a premier angling destination. Today, the lake and its surrounding rivers continue to draw anglers seeking a wilderness fishing experience within a protected national park setting. The waters here are warm and relatively shallow, characteristic of the softwood-forested lowlands of southwestern Nova Scotia, and the park's interconnected lakes and river systems provide a variety of fishing environments.

The park's river systems — particularly the Mersey River and its tributaries — are consistently productive for brook trout and offer classic Nova Scotia river fishing through forested wilderness. The lake itself provides opportunities for perch and, increasingly, chain pickerel. Tributary mouths and areas where cooler water enters the main lake are worth targeting for brook trout during warmer summer months.
