World's Largest Axe — Attraction in Nackawic

We visited this as a break on a road trip and it was a really nice place. The axe is indeed pretty big yet not to the level of "holy cow". The well maintained flower beds and view of the lovely river do make it a very fine whole. Worth a stop if you pass on the nearby highway, but in my view not so unique that it would in itself be the main goal of a trip. Ample parking on the site and lovely view of the river. There is a nice new cabin nearby where you can buy refreshments, rent a kayak, or go to the washroom (which was spotlessly clean). A bit further is also a covered sitting area with a few benches and a small playground aimed at kids from two to six. One detail: the floor of the playground is covered with little pebbles.

Our family is on a 3-month trip across Canada in RVs. We have stopped along the way to take pictures with giant pierogies, coins, fish and an assortment of other "world's largest!"

We stopped for lunch and discovered there was a grocery store across the street which made shopping very easy. After lunch and taking pictures we went to the beach and rented water bikes. They also have kayaks available for rent at a reasonable price.

We really enjoyed our stop at the world's largest ex and highly recommend it. Be warned that it is a short drive off the highway and you will probably feel lost before...
