Tobeatic Game Reserve

The Tobeatic Wilderness Area is the largest protected area in Nova Scotia. It is located in south central Nova Scotia, Canada adjacent to and roughly three times the size of Kejimkujik National Park. The park spans five counties: Annapolis County, Digby County, Queens County, Yarmouth County and Shelburne County. In 1998, the Tobeatic Wildlife Management Area (the successor to the Tobeatic Game Reserve) and additional Crown lands, were designated by the Province of Nova Scotia as the Tobeatic Wilderness Area.

The word Tobeatic means "Place of the Alder" in the Mi'kmaq language.

The region is drawn with rivers and studded with many lakes. It contains large areas of pristine Acadian forest. The geography of the Tobeatic is quite varied as it consists of wetlands, woodlands, scrublands and . The following glacial features can be found here: glacial barrens, erratics, drumlins, eskers, glacial outwash (sandur) and kettle lakes.

The Tobeatic differs from Kejimkujik National Park in that some hunting and public leasing of land is allowed, and that campsites, canoe routes, and portages are not as developed or maintained. However, the Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Labour, Protected Areas Division, is in the process of opening some trails systems and retiring hunting camps. All Terrain Vehicle use within the Reserve has also been disallowed. Along with Kejimkujik, the Tobeatic is part of the UNESCO designated Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve.
