3 Best Sights in Eastern Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador

Golfing, sea kayaking, fishing, camping, and canoeing are among the activities the 399-square-km (186-square-mile) park supports. You can arrange guided walks at the visitor center, which has exhibits, a small shop, and a decent snack bar–cafeteria.

The visitor center can also provide connections to a local tour company for boat tours and kayaking activities while in the park.

At this provincial historic site you can slip back in time more than a century to the era when mercantile families ruled tiny communities. Next door the counting house has been restored to the 1820s and the retail store to the 1900s. An interpretation center traces the history of Trinity, once a hub of commerce.

The home of F. Gordon Bradley, a proponent of Confederation, has been restored to its 1939 appearance, the better to chronicle the days leading up to Newfoundland becoming a province of Canada a decade later. The house was built in the 1870s, when it was a fishery plantation. Interpreters lead tours of the plantation house known as the Bradley House.
