INTRODUCTION |
The trail runs between Highway 431 and the Killdevil church camp. Side-trails
lead down to the river. The trail crosses second-growth forest, overlooks
the East Arm Barachoix where logs used to be driven and passes the remains
of an old
sawmill. You can also pick up the trail at the edge of the woods south
of the church camp.
The unusual geology here marks a time when the continents of Africa and
North America collided, pushing these rocks, originally beneath the ocean,
to their present position on land. Follow the old road from the exhibit
to the entrance of
Winterhouse Brook Canyon. Then explore this alien landscape.
From the Shallow Bay day-use area this trail follows the old mail road
along the edge of the campground, and then proceeds north to the Slants
River.
The trail starts beside the toilet building at the Broom Point and winds
through tuckamore forest to a flower filled coastal meadow overlooking
the mouth of Western Brook.
Leading to the Western Brook Pond boat tour, with a spur trail to a beach
near Stag Brook, the trail crosses coastal bogs and low forested limestone
ridges over gentle terrain and boardwalks.
This trail is a spur off Western Brook Pond Trail, and leads to a campsite
at the foot of Long Range Mountains.
This trail follows the old winter mail road along the coast between Baker's
Brook and Green point.
The use of boardwalk on first portion of this trail allows people with
limited mobility to enjoy the pond.
A sign by the parking lot maps the multiple paths down to the shoreline.
Berry Hill is a low round rock knob that was an island during higher sea-levels
just after the last ice age.
The falls are the main attraction of this trail, rivaled by a profusion
of spring and summer wild flowers in the bogs and forests.
This trail is fine for an after-dinner stroll, or you can walk it before
breakfast when the birds are in song.
-
Gros Morne Mountain (James Callahan Trail)
It is very important to be will prepared before undertaking this hike.
The view from the top is renowned, as is the steep climb up the scree slope.
A short, fairly easy hike through the woods will bring you to the falls,
which are most impressive during spring run-off or after a heavy rain.
Branching off the Lomond River Trail, this spur crosses
a suspension bridge, then climbs to Stuckless Pond.
The trail begins at the Lomond day-use area playground, and climbs over
a ridge and down to a cove at stanleyville, the site of a sawmill and small
community active in the early 1900's.
This trail rises steeply up the forested hillside to the wet meadow and
barrens of the plateau. Boardwalk leads to partridge berry hill and the
best panoramic view of Bonne Bay and the Tablelands.
A trail head sign maps the different possibilities of this hike. This trail
leads to a coast of sea stacks, volcanic cliffs, a sea cave accessible
at low tide and a secluded cove with a sparkling waterfall.
This trail follows the north shore of Trout River Small Pond.
