Terra Nova National Park
Terra Nova National Park Review
Terra Nova, established in 1957, was Newfoundland's first national park. On Bonavista Bay, it has natural beauty, dramatic coastline, and rugged woods. Moose, black bear, and other wildlife move about freely in the forests and marshy bogs, while pods of whales play within sight of the shores and many species of birds inhabit the cliffs and shores encompassed by the 400-square-km (154-square-mi) park.
Golf, sea kayaking, fishing, and camping are some of the draws here, and you can book summer marine tours and seasonal fishing through Coastal Connections (709/533-2196 or 709/640-0814 off season www.coastalconnections.ca). The visitor center leads guided walks and has exhibits, a small shop, and a small but decent snack bar/cafeteria. Eight backcountry camping areas are accessible by trail or canoe.
