Crossings & current schedule →Then a ferry to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon
The boat at Fortune sails to France: Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, about forty-two kilometres offshore as the crow flies. It is an international crossing, so bring a passport. Check the operator for sailings and fares; the season matters.
Operated by SPM Ferries.
Current schedule →Faded lines are other drives from Argentia ferry terminal into this area: Harbour Breton (567 km). Each splits off where its line leaves this one.
Stop 1: Fitzgerald's Pond Provincial Park
A Provincial Park Reserve, not a provincial park with a campground. ParksNL defines these as pre-1997 parks whose campground area was deproclaimed and privatised, with the rest kept to protect natural features. It states that park reserves have no visitor services, so there is no washroom. It sits on the driven line and costs no extra driving.

The crossing you arrive onSeasonal — Argentia is not the year-round crossing
Port aux Basques runs through the winter; Argentia does not. Confirm the sailing first, because the other landing is on the far side of the island.
marineatlantic.ca →MooseYear round, worst between dusk and dawn
The province says the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime. This is 321.7 km, much of it unlit two-lane highway; plan the drive for daylight where you can.
