Western Brook Pond

Distance: 6km return (1.8km scenic loop)
Time: 1-2 hours
Terrain/Elevation: Flat/10-35m

Follow the trail to the shores of Western Brook Pond and its impressive backdrop of spectacular cliffs and the Long Range Mountains. Along the way you’ll cross the bogs and forested ridges of the parks’ coastal lowlands. Look for interpretive signs that explain some of the area’s natural features.

Trail Notes:

• 27 km north of Rocky Harbour on route 430.
• The 2.7-kilometre gravel and boardwalk main trail leads to the departure point of the Western Brook Pond boat tour.  Boat tours run daily from mid-May to mid-October, weather permitting.
• The view alone is worth the hike, even if you are not able to take the boat tour.
• You can also explore a 1.8-kilometre side loop to reach the banks of Western Brook. This path also leads to the start of the Snug Harbour Trail.
