Blomidon Park
Samuel de Champlain named this land Cap Poutrincourt, however the Acadians renamed it Cap Baptiste.
After the Deportation, the first English settlers call it Cape Porcupine, a name it will carry for a long time, while also being called Cape Blowmedown, the latter eventually becoming Blomidon.
Beyond the beauty of its landscape, which follows the Bay of Fundy coastline, Blomidon Park is a symbolic site for the Mi'kmaq people.
"Linked by friendship and family ties, the Mi’kmaqs and the Acadians created an important coalition. Glooscap, the Great Spirit of the Mi’kmaqs, lived at Mount Blomidon. From the top of the lookoff, you will get a sense of his universe. The legend goes that Glooscap created the Minas Basin when he destroyed a beaver dam that extended from Blomidon to the shores of Parrsboro, letting the tides of the Bay of Fundy enter2."

Don’t miss : Admire the rocky cliffs and watch the Bay of Fundy tides in action – they are the highest tides in the world. Leave your footprints in the sand and sink your feet into the red earth, typical of the area!
