Shelburne River (Nova Scotia)

Shallow rocky lakes, rapids, still-water reaches - the Shelburne, is located close to Kejimkujik National Park and flows through a wilderness of boulder-strewn barren wetlands and undisturbed forests. Here are some of the last old growth stands of white pine, red spruce and hemlock in Nova Scotia, protected by the local logging company. For the paddler, the Shelburne is a wilderness river appearing much as it did when the Mi'Kmaq used it as a travel route.
