Crossings & current schedule →Faded lines are other drives from Argentia ferry terminal into this area: Hermitage-Sandyville (563 km), Fortune (322 km), St. Alban's (522 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.

A memorial on Route 1 outside Gander, unveiled in 1990 for the lives lost in the Arrow Air crash of 12 December 1985.

The trio look toward Fort Campbell, Kentucky, where a similar statue looks back.

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 567.4 km, much of it unlit two-lane highway; plan the drive for daylight where you can.
