Mira River Provincial Park

Mira River Provincial Park extends across 87 hectares of woodland terrain, featuring mixed forests, walking paths, and extensive waterfront along the Mira River.

The park land, initially acquired in 1962, received its official designation under the Provincial Parks Act through an Order in Council on June 12, 1984.

The area holds significance as traditional Mi'kmaq territory and later became a French settlement in the 1700s, supporting timber export and agricultural activities.

The park maintains 156 campsites and 51 open sites, complete with a boat launch, picnic facilities, and trail networks, operating from May 27 to October 17.

The geological landscape reveals Carboniferous formations from 320 million years ago and Cambrian formations extending back approximately 500 million years.
