Blomidon Provincial Park, Provincial park on Minas Basin cliffs in Kings County, Canada

Blomidon Provincial Park is a protected natural area along the Minas Basin coast in Nova Scotia with dramatic cliffs rising about 600 feet (180 meters) above the water. The terrain includes thick forests, rocky shorelines, and several hiking trails that wind through different natural zones.

Cape Blomidon is the site of the Mi'kmaq legend of Glooscap, the hero said to have made his home there; the nearby Glooscap First Nation takes its name from him. The land was later set aside as a provincial park protecting 759 hectares of cliff-top forest and shoreline on the Minas Basin, managed as an IUCN Category III natural monument.

Cape Blomidon is where, according to Mi'kmaq legend, the hero Glooscap made his home. The nearby Glooscap First Nation takes its name from this figure. The park's name itself is not a Mi'kmaq word with a recorded meaning in the sources.

The park is reached via Nova Scotia Route 358, about 20 km north of Wolfville and 100 km west of Halifax. The campground has field and woodland sites, and the beach is unsupervised. A 14 km loop links all trails, including an interpretive trail, overlooks and a waterfall; the northern part of the park is closed to vehicles and reached on foot.

The park sits along the shores of Minas Basin, where the tides rank among the strongest in the world with water levels rising and falling by extreme heights each day. These dramatic tidal cycles constantly reshape the coastline and create a landscape that transforms throughout the day.
