Trout River Pond Trail

Distance: 14km return
Time: 4-5 hours
Terrain/Elevation: Gentle/10-110m

Follow the trail to reach a pristine part of the Tablelands. Your route skirts the north side of Trout River Pond through forests, and then opens onto the barren Tablelands. The landscape changes again at the “Narrows” between the inner and outer ponds—where you’ll enter a steep-sided valley.

Trail Notes:

• The trail begins in the Trout River pond day-use area.
• First half is through shaded boreal forest, but then the vegetation dwindles to larch scrub and serpentine barrens. Arctic-alpine plants grow here, in the midst of patterned ground, erosion fans, and calcium springs.
• This trail provides magnificent views of the “Narrows” where two ponds meet, and of the glacial-carved valley of Trout River Inner Pond.
• Combine this hike with a scenic boat ride. Check out Wild Gros Morne’s water taxi options on Trout River Pond.
