Drive measured Oct 20, 2026, South Brook to Triton. Your maps app gives the time on the day. How we measure
165.6 km, South Brook to Triton. The province’s drive is two roads off the Trans-Canada. Routes 390 and 391 go through Springdale to King’s Point and Jackson’s Cove. Route 380 goes through Robert’s Arm and over to Pilley’s Island and Triton.
Both branches end at the sea, so the first is driven out and back. The province’s tourism site names this area as Beothuk country, and Green Bay for its icebergs and whales.

Long Island ferryThe province publishes the schedule
The ferry from Pilley's Island takes passengers and a limited number of vehicles. Check the schedule and vehicle space before you plan on it.
gov.nl.ca →Icebergs and whalesPresence varies year to year
The province's tourism site says icebergs pass through Green Bay and whales feed in it, seen from shore or by boat. Check current sightings before you plan a day around them.
icebergfinder.com →MooseYear round, worst between dusk and dawn
The province states the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime. This drive goes up two dead-end roads and back on unlit two-lane road, so the return leg is the one most likely to run into dusk.
gov.nl.ca →Road conditionsYear round, matters most November–April
Routes 391 and 380 both end at the sea with no road joining them. A closure on either means turning back.

Where does it start, and which way round?＋
The province starts it at Springdale or South Brook. This page starts at South Brook, does the Route 390 and 391 branch first, as the province describes it, and ends at Triton. The distance is the same reversed.
Is the Long Island ferry part of the drive?＋
No. It is an optional crossing from Pilley's Island, and its stop on this page measures only the road to the terminal and back.
