A historic wilderness route tracing the ancient Mi'kmaq highway from Kejimkujik National Park to Liverpool on the South Shore. The Mersey River offers a compelling blend of calm stillwaters through red maples and vegetated islands, interspersed with gentle moving water and scenic lake passages. Shorelines feature impressive hemlock and pine forests, providing a remote feel while remaining accessible from roads. Longer journeys incorporate Kejimkujik Lake's more challenging, wind-exposed waters. Best paddled May through October, with calm early mornings and late afternoons recommended on larger lakes.
Mersey River is estimated at Intermediate. Whitewater ratings are not exact: grades change with water level and season. Verify current conditions locally before you paddle.
The best time is May-October.
Mersey River is located in the Nova Scotia region of Canada.
