About Kelley River Wilderness Area
Kelley River Wilderness Area encompasses just over 21,000 hectares of extensive, mature and older forest in Cumberland County, making it one of Nova Scotia's largest wilderness areas. The area protects representative portions of the Chignecto Ridged Plain natural landscape and includes watersheds of Kelley River and Atkinson Brook, wild sections of River Hebert, Halfway River, and a tidal portion of Maccan River. It provides critical habitat for endangered species including mainland moose, wood turtle, and Inner Bay of Fundy salmon.
