Conservative model estimate, Farewell ferry terminal to Lewisporte — no stops, dry roads. Many of Newfoundland's provincial routes carry no speed limit in the open map data, so the router assumes a slow default: a driver who knows the road will beat this.

The boat decides when this drive starts. Route 335 leaves the Farewell terminal, then Routes 331, 340 and 341 carry you around the bottom of the bay and down into Lewisporte — 74 kilometres of two-lane road through country with very little on it.
Very little, and the map can prove it: a sweep of everything within 1.2 km of this drive turned up five features and not one of them has a name, so there is nothing here this page is willing to send you to. That is worth saying plainly rather than leaving the stops list empty and hoping nobody notices. This is the return leg of a route the site already publishes in the other direction — Gander to Farewell, then the ferry to Fogo or Change Islands — and it exists because coming back off that boat is a real moment with a real question in it, and the answer is a short drive to a town rather than a long one to anywhere else.

Why it matters: Hertz Canada’s published rental terms — the one set of Canadian rental terms we could read in full, quoted not recommended — list “use off paved roads or on roads which are not regularly maintained” as misconduct that voids the damage waiver. Read the agreement you sign before leaving the lot. The terms themselves. Source for these figures: OSRM driving profile, stored route query, with node annotations; OpenStreetMap surface tags from a local Geofabrik extract (Overpass unreachable), checked 2026-09-21. A road with no tag is unknown, not paved; what any road is like today is on 511.

MooseYear round, worst between dusk and dawn
The province states it plainly: the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime. Most of this drive is unlit two-lane highway.

Questions people actually ask
How far is Lewisporte from the Farewell ferry terminal?＋
About 74 km — roughly 1 hour 9 minutes. Route 335 from the terminal, then Routes 331, 340 and 341 down to Lewisporte.
I have just come off the Fogo ferry. Lewisporte or back to Gander?＋
Lewisporte is the shorter of the two: about 1 hour 9 minutes, against 1 hour 21 minutes and 86 km back to the Gander terminal door. If you are flying out, Gander is where you are going anyway. If you have a night left, Lewisporte is nearer and it is a town with services rather than an airport.
Is there anywhere to stop between Farewell and Lewisporte?＋
Nothing the open map can name. A sweep of the corridor on 21 September 2026 found five features within 1.2 km of the drive and not one of them carries a name, so this page will not send you to any of them. That is a gap in the map rather than a statement about the road — if you know what is along it, the site would like to hear.
Is the drive from Farewell to Lewisporte a hard one?＋
It is paved and it is short, but it is back-road driving rather than highway — Route 335 and Route 331 are two-lane roads through country with few communities on them. The ferry decides the hour you start, and an evening sailing means an unlit drive, which is the moose note above.
